非参数多元有限混合模型的成分数量估计AI 解读

We propose a novel estimator for the number of mixture components (denoted by M) in a nonparametric finite mixture model. The setting that we consider is one where the analyst has repeated observations of K≥2 variables that are conditionally independent given a finitely supported latent variable with M support points. Under a mild assumption on the joint distribution of the observed and latent variables, we show that an integral operator T that is identified from the data…

处理选择中的模型选择：惩罚化福利最大化AI 解读

This paper studies a penalized statistical decision rule for the treatment assignment problem. Consider the setting of a utilitarian policy maker who must use sample data to allocate a binary treatment to members of a population, based on their observable characteristics. We model this problem as a statistical decision problem where the policy maker must choose a subset of the covariate space to assign to treatment, out of a class of potential subsets. We focus on settings…
