流式数据高维广义线性模型的自适应去偏 LassoAI 解读

Online statistical inference facilitates real-time analysis of sequentially collected data, making it different from traditional methods that rely on static datasets. This article introduces a novel approach to online inference in high-dimensional generalized linear models, where we update regression coefficient estimates and their standard errors upon each new data arrival. In contrast to existing methods that either require full dataset access or large-dimensional summary…

高效估计分位数处理效应的协变量调整响应自适应实验AI 解读

In program evaluation studies, understanding the heterogeneous distributional impacts of a program beyond the average effect is crucial. Quantile treatment effect (QTE) provides a natural measure to capture such heterogeneity. While much of the existing work for estimating QTE has focused on analyzing observational data based on untestable causal assumptions, little work has gone into designing randomized experiments specifically for estimating QTE. In this manuscript, we…

强化学习框架下的多变量动态中介分析AI 解读

Mediation analysis is an important analytic tool commonly used in a broad range of scientific applications. In this article, we study the problem of mediation analysis when there are multivariate and conditionally dependent mediators, and when the variables are observed over multiple time points. The problem is challenging, because the effect of a mediator involves not only the path from the treatment to this mediator itself at the current time point, but also all possible…

利用去偏随机梯度下降进行在线推断AI 解读

Summary We propose a debiased stochastic gradient descent algorithm for online statistical inference with high-dimensional data. Our approach combines the debiasing technique developed in high-dimensional statistics with the stochastic gradient descent algorithm. It can be used to construct confidence intervals efficiently in an online fashion. Our proposed algorithm has several appealing aspects: as a one-pass algorithm, it reduces the time complexity; in addition, each…

We thank the editorial board for organizing this discussion and giving us the opportunity to explore experts’ perspectives on our work. We sincerely appreciate the discussants for their insightful contributions, which have raised many important points and provided suggestions for potential improvements and generalizations of our proposed method. In this rejoinder, we primarily focus on three important aspects raised by the discussants: (i) the role of the weighting parameter…

流式纵向数据的统计推断AI 解读

Summary Modern longitudinal data, for example from wearable devices, may consist of measurements of biological signals on a fixed set of participants at a diverging number of time-points. Traditional statistical methods are not equipped to handle the computational burden of repeatedly analysing the cumulatively growing dataset each time new data are collected. We propose a new estimation and inference framework for dynamic updating of point estimates and their standard…

可能含异常批次的流式聚类数据实时回归分析AI 解读

This paper develops an incremental learning algorithm based on quadratic inference function (QIF) to analyze streaming datasets with correlated outcomes such as longitudinal data and clustered data. We propose a renewable QIF (RenewQIF) method within a paradigm of renewable estimation and incremental inference, in which parameter estimates are recursively renewed with current data and summary statistics of historical data, but with no use of any historical subject-level raw…

流式数据广义线性模型的可更新估计与增量推断AI 解读

Summary The paper presents an incremental updating algorithm to analyse streaming data sets using generalized linear models. The method proposed is formulated within a new framework of renewable estimation and incremental inference, in which the maximum likelihood estimator is renewed with current data and summary statistics of historical data. Our framework can be implemented within a popular distributed computing environment, known as Apache Spark, to scale up computation.…
