Lujia Bai
I obtain my Ph.d. from Department of Statistics and Data Science at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, advised by Prof. Weichi Wu . In 2020, I obtained my B.Sc. in the School of Statistics and Management, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
I am broadly interested in data with complex structure and non-stationary dynamics. My current research focuses on non-stationary time series, time-varying network, functional time series and long-range dependence.
I speak Chinese, English and German as well as a little Spanish.

Detecting long-range dependence for time-varying linear models
Lujia Bai*,
Weichi Wu
Bernoulli, accepted
[arXiv]
[Code]
We consider the problem of testing for long-range dependence in time-varying coefficient regression models, where the covariates and errors are locally stationary, allowing complex temporal dynamics and heteroscedasticity. We develop KPSS, R/S, V/S, and K/S-type statistics based on the nonparametric residuals.

Time-varying correlation network analysis of non-stationary multivariate time series with complex trends
Lujia Bai*,
Weichi Wu
preprint
[arXiv]
This paper proposes a flexible framework for inferring large-scale time-varying and time-lagged correlation networks from multivariate or high-dimensional non-stationary time series with piecewise smooth trends.

Difference-based covariance matrix estimate in time series nonparametric regression with applications to specification tests
Lujia Bai*,
Weichi Wu
Biometrika, accepted
[arXiv]
[Code]
We propose a novel difference-based and debiased long-run covariance matrix estimator for functional linear models with time-varying regression coefficients, allowing time series non-stationarity, long-range dependence, state-heteroscedasticity and their mixtures. We apply the new estimator to existing tests, overcoming the notorious non-monotonic power phenomena and improving the performance via the residual free formula.

UniPC: A Unified Predictor-Corrector Framework for Fast Sampling of Diffusion Models
Lujia Bai*,

[Project Page]
UniPC is a training-free framework designed for the fast sampling of diffusion models, which consists of a corrector (UniC) and a predictor (UniP) that share a unified analytical form and support arbitrary orders.
