Summary A key challenge in causal inference from observational studies is the identification and estimation of causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for causal inference that leverages information in multiple outcomes to deal with unmeasured confounding. An important assumption in our approach is conditional independence among multiple outcomes. In contrast to existing proposals in the literature, the roles of…

We congratulate Rohe and Zeng for their inspiring work on providing theoretical support for Varimax rotation in factor analysis. A key contribution of the article is the demonstration that if the factors in the semi-parametric factor model follow heavy-tailed distribution, then performing principal components analysis (PCA) on the observed data matrix along with Varimax rotation applied to the principal components does produce interpretable explanatory variables. We have the…
