一类新的函数型条件自回归模型AI 解读

SUMMARY We introduce a new class of conditional autoregressive models for spatially dependent functional data, formulated through conditional means, given neighbouring functional observations and characterized by a covariance operator and a spatial dependence parameter. Our estimation strategy consists of three components: (i) estimating the covariance operator using conditionally centred data, (ii) estimating the spatial dependence parameter by maximizing the likelihood of…

《移动健康中二元结局的时变因果偏离效应估计》讨论AI 解读

Summary In this discussion, we examine the contributions of Qian et al. (2021) and potential applications of the newly developed estimator for the causal excursion effect in binary outcome data. Specifically, we consider extension of their method to count outcomes and observational data, propose an alternative use of their method for analysing excursion effect trajectories and discuss ways of improving estimator efficiency.
