We leverage recent advances in heavy-tail approximations for global hypothesis testing with dependent studies to construct approximate confidence regions without modeling or estimating their dependence structures. A non-rejection region is a confidence region but it may not be convex. Convexity is appealing because it ensures any one-dimensional linear projection of the region is a confidence interval, easy to compute and interpret. We show why convexity fails for nearly all heavy-tail combination tests proposed in recent years, including the influential Cauchy combination test. These insights motivate a heavily right strategy: truncating the left half of the Cauchy distribution to obtain the Half-Cauchy combination test. The harmonic mean test also corresponds to a heavily right distribution with a Cauchy-like tail, namely a Pareto distribution with unit power. We prove that both approaches guarantee convexity when individual studies are summarized by Hotelling $T^2$ or $χ^{2}$ statistics (regardless of the validity of this summary) and provide efficient, exact algorithms for implementation. Applying these methods, we develop a divide-and-combine strategy for mean estimation in any dimension and construct simultaneous confidence intervals in a network meta-analysis for treatment effect comparisons across multiple clinical trials. We also present many open problems and conclude with epistemic reflections.
网络干扰下分位数效应的一致推断
This paper studies quantile treatment and spillover effects in network experiments. Average spillover effects reveal how treating a unit's neighbors affects its outcome on average, but mask the heterogeneity of these effects across the outcome distribution. We define structural quantile effects that compare outcome quantiles between exposure states, characterizing how own treatment and exposure to treated neighbors affect different parts of the outcome distribution.

含噪网络测量下时变网络构成与预测依赖的分离
A common question about networked time series is whether outcomes changed because shocks transmit more strongly or because the pattern of connections changed. Standard practice inserts a recorded network into an outcome regression and reads movements of the fitted coefficient as changes in transmission strength. When the network is latent, time varying, and measured with error, this reading fails: changes in strength and changes in composition can produce the same outcome…
靶向深度生存对比:神经网络下处理特定生存收益的有效推断
Neural survival models are increasingly asked to support counterfactual claims---how much a treatment would change survival in a population---rather than only prognostic risk scores. Answering such questions from observational data requires valid inference for treatment-specific survival contrasts under confounding and covariate-dependent censoring, targets for which standard deep survival estimators are biased and provide no honest uncertainty. We propose Targeted Deep…
随机对象非线性中介分析的统一框架
Mediation analysis for complex, non-Euclidean data, such as probability distributions, compositions, images, and networks, presents significant methodological challenges due to the inherent nonlinearity and geometric constraints of such spaces. Existing approaches are often restricted to Euclidean settings or specific data types. We propose Random Object Mediation Analysis (ROMA), a unified framework that simultaneously accommodates object-valued exposures, mediators, and…
引用网络的双向共因子分析
One compelling use of citation networks is to characterize papers by their relationships to the surrounding literature. We propose a method to characterize papers by embedding them into two distinct "co-factor" spaces: one describing how papers send citations, and the other describing how papers receive citations. This approach presents several challenges. First, older documents cannot cite newer documents, and thus it is not clear that co-factors are even identifiable. We…
容许无效工具变量的半参数因果发现与推断
Learning causal relationships among a set of variables, as encoded by a directed acyclic graph, from observational data is complicated by the presence of unobserved confounders. Instrumental variables (IVs) are a popular remedy for this issue, but most existing methods either assume the validity of all IVs or postulate a specific form of relationship, such as a linear model, between the primary variables and the IVs. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a partially…
