高维分位数回归的自适应检验AI 解读

Testing high-dimensional quantile regression coefficients is crucial, as tail quantiles often reveal more than the mean in many practical applications. Nevertheless, the sparsity pattern of the alternative hypothesis is typically unknown in practice, posing a major challenge. To address this, we propose an adaptive test that remains powerful across both sparse and dense alternatives.We first establish the asymptotic independence between the max-type test statistic proposed…

面向高维线性回归的跨语义迁移学习AI 解读

Current transfer learning methods for high-dimensional linear regression assume feature alignment across domains, restricting their applicability to semantically matched features. In many real-world scenarios, however, distinct features in the target and source domains can play similar predictive roles, creating a form of cross-semantic similarity. To leverage this broader transferability, we propose the Cross-Semantic Transfer Learning (CSTL) framework. It captures…

熵正则化推断：一种预测视角AI 解读

Predictive inference requires balancing statistical accuracy against informational complexity, yet the choice of complexity measure is usually imposed rather than derived. We treat econometric objects as predictive rules, mappings from information to reported predictive distributions, and impose three structural requirements on evaluation: locality, strict propriety, and coherence under aggregation (coarsening/refinement) of outcome categories. These axioms characterize…

主分层可忽略性下基于 U 统计量的主分层推断AI 解读

Principal stratification is a popular framework for causal inference in the presence of an intermediate outcome. While the principal average treatment effects are the standard target of inference, they may be insufficient when interest lies in the relative ordering of potential outcomes within a principal stratum. We introduce the principal generalized causal effect estimands to accommodate nonlinear contrast functions, providing robust, probability-scale summaries suitable…

相关溢出下的处理效应：连接离散与连续方法AI 解读

This paper develops a continuous functional framework for treatment effects propagating through geographic space and economic networks. We derive a master equation from three independent economic foundations -- heterogeneous agent aggregation, market equilibrium, and cost minimization -- establishing that the framework rests on fundamental principles rather than ad hoc specifications. The framework nests conventional econometric models -- autoregressive specifications,…

通过摊销条件独立检验实现可扩展因果结构学习AI 解读

Controlling false positives (Type I errors) through statistical hypothesis testing is a foundation of modern scientific data analysis. Existing causal structure discovery algorithms either do not provide Type I error control or cannot scale to the size of modern scientific datasets. We consider a variant of the causal discovery problem with two sets of nodes, where the only edges of interest form a bipartite causal subgraph between the sets. We develop Scalable Causal…
