We consider the problem of learning the underlying causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure corresponding to a structural equation model (SEM) with non-Gaussian errors. Motivated by an intentionally misspecified non-Gaussian SEM with all Laplace errors, we first introduce the mean absolute residual risk, defined over the space of all real matrices, and show that, asymptotically, the risk of the true weighted causal DAG matrix is strictly smaller than that of any other matrix. Nevertheless, to enhance generality and account for high-dimensional and finite-sample settings, we further incorporate row-specific sparsity penalties along with a soft DAG constraint to derive a continuous score function over the space of real matrices. Accordingly, we propose a score-based DAG learning method, named MARCEDES, formulated as an unconstrained score minimization problem, which can be efficiently solved using gradient-based optimization techniques, thereby circumventing the challenges associated with constrained optimization. Furthermore, we develop a computational algorithm to handle the non-smoothness of the score objective and to enable optimal tuning of row-specific sparsity penalties under a generalized Bayes framework. Finally, we demonstrate the efficiency and improved performance of the proposed method over existing approaches through an extensive simulation study.
Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) is a popular Bayesian ensemble model used in regression and classification analysis. Under this modeling framework, the regression function is approximated by an ensemble of decision trees, interpreted as weak learners. In this work, we propose a generalization of the BART model that has two main features: first, it automatically selects the number of decision trees using the given data; second, the model allows clusters of…
贝叶斯神经网络辅助多处理混合治愈生存模型:儿科肿瘤应用
Estimating covariate-conditional treatment effects in multi-arm oncology studies is complicated when treatment arms have common distributional features and a non-negligible fraction of patients achieve long-term remission. We propose a joint mixture cure model with covariate-dependent mixtures of log-normal kernels with treatment-specific inclusions. Both linear and neural-network-assisted non-linear covariate links are proposed. Specifically, the susceptible survival…
图分割贝叶斯因果森林:空间异质性处理效应估计
In spatial observational studies, treatment assignment and outcomes often exhibit spatial dependence patterns, and treatment effects may vary across space and subpopulations due to both measured and unmeasured spatially structured confounders. Accounting for spatial dependence while estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) is a central task in spatial causal inference. Causal Bayesian additive regression tree methods are popular nonparametric methods for modeling…
BGM-IV:面向高维协变量工具变量回归的贝叶斯生成建模
Instrumental-variable (IV) regression enables causal estimation under endogeneity, but modern IV problems often involve nonlinear structural effects and high-dimensional covariates. Existing methods typically operate in observed or generic learned feature spaces, and they often yield point estimates without uncertainty quantification. We introduce BGM-IV, a Bayesian generative modeling approach that performs nonlinear IV regression through posterior inference in a causally…
析因多变量贝叶斯因果森林:多处理的异质主效应与交互效应
Many studies expose units to several binary treatments at once and record several correlated outcomes, yet analysts usually estimate one treatment's average effect on one outcome at a time -- discarding how treatments interact and how their effects vary across units. We introduce the factorial multivariate Bayesian causal forest, a Bayesian nonparametric model that decomposes the factorial response surface over the treatment lattice into a prognostic sum-of-trees plus one…
基于贝叶斯机器学习的决策论亚组发现
We consider the problem of identifying promising subpopulations in terms of treatment effectiveness or treatment effect heterogeneity, from a Bayesian decision theoretic perspective. We first show that a straight-forward application of Bayesian decision theory to subgroup detection leads to a counter-intuitive risk-seeking (RS) behavior. Motivated by this observation, we introduce the Bayesian Risk-Aware Inference and Detection of Subgroups (BRAIDS) utility and use it to…
