Testing Functional Inequalities

This paper develops tests for inequality constraints of nonparametric regression functions. The test statistics involve a one-sided version of $L_p$ -type functionals of kernel estimators $(1 \leq p < \infty)$ . Drawing on the approach of Poissonization, this paper establishes that the tests are asymptotically distribution free, admitting asymptotic normal approximation. In particular, the tests using the standard normal critical values have asymptotically correct size and are consistent against general fixed alternatives. Furthermore, we establish conditions under which the tests have nontrivial local power against Pitman local alternatives. Some results from Monte Carlo simulations are presented.This paper develops tests for inequality constraints of nonparametric regression functions.

Testing Cumulative Treatment Effects in Continuous Time with ODE Dynamics and Noisy Observations

Jiuchen Zhang · Annie Qu首次提交 2026-02-02 · 修订 2026-10-14 · v2arXiv预印本

We develop a semiparametric continuous time inferential framework for testing cumulative treatment effects, including both immediate and carryover effects. The latent state process is modeled by an ordinary differential equation (ODE) whose drift depends on state and treatment, while the observed data are noisy measurements of this latent state at irregular, multi resolution time points. We define the average treatment effect (ATE) as the difference of expected cumulative…

RBF 核高斯过程最大似然估计的精确渐近理论AI 解读

Gaussian processes (GPs) are widely used across machine learning, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, optimization, Bayesian statistics, and scientific applications. A central component of a GP model is its kernel, which is typically specified through a parametric family. Among the most widely used choices is the radial basis function (RBF), also known as the squared exponential or Gaussian kernel, owing to its simple form, smoothness, and flexibility. In practice, the…

Global Inference for High Dimensional Quantile Regression with Heterogeneity

异质性高维分位数回归的全局推断AI 解读

Quantile regression has received considerable attention in high dimensional methodology due to its robustness and ability to accommodate heteroskedasticity. Despite this attention, current inferential methods for high dimensional quantile regression have significant limitations---only testing significance, testing at a single quantile at a time, or assuming homoskedasticity. To generalize the inferences that can be drawn in high dimensional quantile regression, we introduce…

Accuracy of Uniform Inference on Fine Grid Points

Shunsuke Imai首次提交 2025-12-21 · 修订 2026-10-08 · v2arXiv预印本

Uniform confidence bands are widely used in empirical analysis for uncertainty qualification of nonparametric inference of unknown functions. A variety of simple implementation methods, including multiplier bootstrap, have been proposed and theoretically justified. However, an implementation over a literally continuous index set is generally computationally infeasible, and practitioners therefore compute the critical value by evaluating the statistic on a finite evaluation…

Debiased inference for proximal dose-response function

Daeyoung Ham · Sihan Wu · Yifan Cui首次提交 2026-08-01 · 修订 2026-10-07 · v2arXiv预印本

We study nonparametric inference for a continuous-treatment causal dose-response curve and its first derivative under unmeasured confounding, using treatment- and outcome-inducing proxies. We establish a proximal doubly robust pseudo-outcome whose conditional mean given treatment equals the dose-response curve whenever either bridge function is correctly specified. Their (smoothed) efficient influence function representations lead to cross-fitted local-polynomial estimators…

Detecting Copula Structural Changes: A Smooth Testing Approach

检测Copula结构变化的平滑检验方法AI 解读

This paper develops novel smooth tests for structural changes in the innovation copula of multivariate dynamic models. We characterize deviations from copula constancy through a collection of generalized Fourier coefficients and test their joint significance. Under the null hypothesis, estimation of the dynamic parameters and the unknown marginals has no first-order estimation effect on the proposed statistics. Consequently, the feasible tests based on estimated residuals…
