In observational settings, where the data generating process and possibly the sample size are not controlled, it is typically impossible to guarantee a priori that quantities of interest will be estimated with sufficient precision. However, even when the data do not determine the quantities of interest, they may still allow determination of what is missing -- unobserved information which, if observed, would meaningfully reduce uncertainty. We propose an interactive visualization system, termed variance deltas, to enable the discovery of such missing information from a Bayesian posterior distribution. This system, which we provide as a software package, represents missing information as subsets of unobserved model quantities, organized into a tree based on how well each subset explains uncertainty about the quantity of interest. This system both automates the construction of candidate subsets from minimal user input and implements interactive operations for the division and combination of subsets, allowing the efficient discovery of interesting and useful explanations. We demonstrate this system by using it to discover nonobvious explanations of uncertainty for (1) a treatment effect parameter in a simulated causal inference problem and (2) a population proportion in a forecasting model of real polling data with many sources of bias.
用于因果推断与模型发现的连续时间集合 Kalman–Bucy 平滑器
Data assimilation (DA) integrates observational information with model predictions to improve state estimation in complex systems. While filtering provides the basis for online forecasts by using only past and present observations, it can exhibit delays and biases when the underlying dynamics evolve rapidly or undergo regime transitions. Smoothing, which additionally incorporates future observations, provides a natural pipeline for hindcasting and reanalysis that yields an…
混合移动平均场引导的时空数据学习
Influenced mixed moving average fields are a versatile modeling class for spatio-temporal data. However, their predictive distribution is not generally known. Under this modeling assumption, we define a novel spatio-temporal embedding and a theory-guided machine learning approach that employs a generalized Bayesian algorithm to make ensemble forecasts. We use Lipschitz predictors and determine fixed-time and any-time PAC Bayesian bounds in the batch learning setting.…
改进在线 A/B 测试中的未来用户活动预测
In online randomized experiments or A/B tests, accurate predictions of participant inclusion rates are of paramount importance. These predictions not only guide experimenters in optimizing the experiment's duration but also enhance the precision of treatment effect estimates. In this paper we present a novel, straightforward, and scalable Bayesian nonparametric approach for predicting the rate at which individuals will be exposed to interventions within the realm of online…
mbsts 包:R 中的多变量贝叶斯结构时间序列模型
The multivariate Bayesian structural time series (MBSTS) model is a general machine learning model that deals with inference and prediction for multiple correlated time series, where one also has the choice of using a different candidate pool of contemporaneous predictors for each target series. The MBSTS model has wide applications and is ideal for feature selection, time series forecasting, nowcasting, inferring causal impact, and others. This paper demonstrates how to use…
贝叶斯非参数稀疏向量自回归模型
High dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) models require a large number of parameters to be estimated and may suffer of inferential problems. We propose a new Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) Lasso prior (BNP-Lasso) for high-dimensional VAR models that can improve estimation efficiency and prediction accuracy. Our hierarchical prior overcomes overparametrization and overfitting issues by clustering the VAR coefficients into groups and by shrinking the coefficients of each…
基于 MMAF 引导学习的时空概率预测
We present a theory-guided generalized Bayesian methodology for spatio-temporal raster data, which we use to train an ensemble of stochastic feed-forward neural networks with Gaussian-distributed weights. The methodology incorporates the dependence and causal structure of a spatio-temporal Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process into training and inference by enforcing constraints on the design of the data embedding and the related optimization routine. In inference mode, the networks…
