高维广义线性模型的自适应多先验 LassoAI 解读

Incorporation of external information into high-dimensional modeling for gene expression data has been shown, both theoretically and empirically, to substantially enhance performance. Such external information, sometimes referred to as prior information or priors, has become increasingly accessible from multiple sources, yet its reliability may vary considerably. Existing approaches often integrate these priors without sufficiently accounting for their quality, which may…

HASOD：面向高维工业实验的混合自适应筛选—优化设计AI 解读

Industrial experimentation requires both factor screening to identify critical variables and response optimization to find optimal operating conditions. Traditional approaches treat these as separate phases, necessitating costly sequential experimentation and full experimental redesign between phases. This paper introduces HASOD (Hybrid Adaptive Screening-Optimization Design), a novel three-phase sequential framework that simultaneously addresses factor identification and…

预测变量个数发散时基于加权残差过程的回归模型检验AI 解读

The integrated conditional moment (ICM) test is a classical and widely used method for assessing the adequacy of regression models. Although it performs well in fixed-dimension settings, its behavior changes dramatically when the predictor dimension diverges: in such regimes, the limiting null and alternative distributions of the ICM statistic degenerate to fixed constants. Moreover, when the number of predictors diverges, the commonly used wild bootstrap no longer…

倾向得分加权 Cox 模型中稳健方差估计的保守性AI 解读

In propensity score weighted analysis, robust variance that does not account for weight estimation is commonly used. In propensity score weighted Cox models (CoxPSW), the robust variance is known to be conservative when weights for the average treatment effect (ATE) are used, but it remains unclear whether this conservativeness also holds for other weighting schemes. This study evaluated the performance of the robust variance in CoxPSW when weights other than ATE are…

Pearl 前门准则的推广AI 解读

Pearl's front-door criterion provides a set of sufficient conditions for estimating the total causal effect from observational data in the presence of latent confounding, using the functional P(y | do(x := x*)) = \sum_z P(z | x*) \sum_x P(y | x, z) P(x). An open question is whether these conditions can be generalized to be both necessary and sufficient for the validity of this functional, similar to the generalization achieved for the back-door adjustment criterion by…

Jackknife 工具变量推断AI 解读

This paper introduces a class of jackknife-based test statistics for linear regression models with endogeneity and heteroskedasticity in the presence of many potentially weak instrumental variables. The tests may be used when considering hypotheses on the full parameter vector or hypotheses defined as linear restrictions. We show that in the limit and under the null the proposed statistics are distributed as a combination of chi squares but by modifying the objective…

真实参数与伪真实参数AI 解读

Parameter estimates in misspecified models converge to pseudo-true parameter values, which minimize a population objective function. Pseudo-true values often differ from quantities of economic interest, raising questions of how, if at all, they are relevant for decision-making. To study this question we consider Bayesian decision-makers facing a linear population minimum distance problem. Within a class of priors motivated by the minimum distance objective, we characterize…

模型不确定性下的信息量：影子价格与岭惩罚AI 解读

We develop inference under model uncertainty due to weak, noisy, multiple candidate restrictions and theories, and nuisance control covariates. A unified framework is given with degrees of misspecification and corresponding shadow prices, based on a Lagrangian constrained optimization approach, and a data$-$driven tolerance parameter selected via a Stein$-$type (shrinkage) risk criterion. A debiasing step is based on Karush$-$Kuhn$-$Tucker conditions. We introduce individual…

高维多视图数据协方差结构的推断AI 解读

This article focuses on covariance estimation for multi-view data. Popular approaches rely on factor-analytic decompositions that have shared and view-specific latent factors. Posterior computation is conducted via expensive and brittle Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling or variational approximations that underestimate uncertainty and lack theoretical guarantees. Our proposed methodology employs spectral decompositions to estimate and align latent factors that are…

从积分方差的离散观测估计随机波动率的粗糙指数AI 解读

We consider the problem of estimating the roughness of the volatility process in a stochastic volatility model that arises as a nonlinear function of fractional Brownian motion with drift. To this end, we introduce a new estimator that measures the so-called roughness exponent of a continuous trajectory, based on discrete observations of its antiderivative. The estimator has a very simple form and can be computed with great efficiency on large data sets. It is not derived…

协同干预的因果分解分析：处理多维社会差距的三重稳健机器学习方法AI 解读

Educational disparities are rooted in and perpetuate social inequalities across multiple dimensions such as race, socioeconomic status, and geography. To reduce disparities, most intervention strategies focus on a single domain and frequently evaluate their effectiveness by using causal decomposition analysis. However, a growing body of research suggests that single-domain interventions may be insufficient for individuals marginalized on multiple fronts. While interventions…

多个实验的潜力：识别潜在结果的联合分布AI 解读

Typical causal effects are defined based on the marginal distribution of potential outcomes. However, many real-world applications require causal estimands involving the joint distribution of potential outcomes to enable more nuanced treatment evaluation and selection. In this article, we propose a novel framework for identifying and estimating the joint distribution of potential outcomes using multiple experimental datasets. We introduce the assumption of transportability…
