随机实验回归调整的 Neumann 级数修正AI 解读

We study average treatment effect (ATE) estimation under complete randomization with many covariates in a design-based, finite-population framework. In randomized experiments, regression adjustment can improve precision of estimators using covariates, without requiring a correctly specified outcome model. However, existing design-based analyses establish asymptotic normality only up to $p = o(n^{1/2})$, extendable to $p = o(n^{2/3})$ with a single de-biasing. We introduce a…

利用无标签协变量的半监督处理效应估计与预测驱动因果推断AI 解读

This study investigates treatment effect estimation in the semi-supervised setting, also can be interpreted as prediction-powered inference. In our setting, we can use not only the standard triple of covariates, treatment indicator, and outcome, but also unlabeled auxiliary covariates. For this problem, we develop efficiency bounds and efficient estimators whose asymptotic variance aligns with the efficiency bound. In the analysis, we introduce two different data-generating…

效应异质性下个体化治疗规则的惩罚回归审慎迁移学习AI 解读

Estimating individualized treatment rules (ITRs) is fundamental to precision medicine, where the goal is to tailor treatment decisions to individual patient characteristics. While numerous methods have been developed for ITR estimation, there is limited research on model updating that accounts for shifted treatment-covariate relationships in the ITR setting. In practice, models trained on source data must be updated for new (target) datasets that exhibit shifts in treatment…
