Quadratic-form test statistics are widely used in econometrics, and their performance depends on accurate variance estimation. Conventional plug-in estimators are consistent under the null hypothesis, but under alternatives the drift in the residuals inflates them and the test loses power. We develop a general framework for variance estimation in such statistics, replacing one of the two squared-residual factors by an auxiliary linear combination of the residuals (``cross-fitting'') chosen to annihilate the drift. We characterize the conditional bias of each estimator exactly. The drift enters the plug-in estimator squared, multiplied by quantities bounded away from zero, so its bias is positive whenever the drift is non-degenerate. It reaches the cross-fit estimator only through the part that survives the cross-fitting, and then only through off-diagonal entries of a residual-maker matrix. From this calculation we obtain conditions under which the cross-fit estimator remains consistent under alternatives while the plug-in estimator does not. At a common critical value the cross-fit test therefore rejects whenever the plug-in test does, and against distant alternatives the plug-in statistic converges to a finite limit, small when few observations carry the departure: its power can tend to zero where the cross-fit test's tends to one. We verify the conditions under primitive assumptions in nonparametric specification testing, overidentification testing, and testing many linear restrictions, and illustrate the procedure on the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment.
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…
We study inference for continuous linear functionals of solutions to ill-posed inverse problems, including Euclidean parameters arising in nonparametric instrumental variables, proximal causal inference, and shadow-variable models. Although pointwise root-$n$ inference is possible under standard conditions, we show that this need not translate into locally reliable inference. Under a model imposing only minimal regularity conditions, the target is Hellinger discontinuous…
Motivation: Mediation analysis is an important tool for elucidating causal mechanisms in biomedical research and has recently gained increasing attention in microbiome studies. Motivated by a microbiome study of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, we investigate whether the effect of induction chemotherapy intensity on infection status is mediated through gut microbial taxa. This problem poses substantial methodological challenges due to the high dimensionality, zero…
This article introduces a framework for evaluating statistical decisions under both prior ambiguity and likelihood misspecification. We begin with an ambiguity set - a frequentist model that pairs a possibly misspecified likelihood with every possible prior - and uniformly expand it by a Kullback-Leibler radius to accommodate likelihood misspecification. We show that optimal decisions under this framework are equivalent to minimax decisions with an exponentially tilted loss…
RBF 核高斯过程最大似然估计的精确渐近理论
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…
PICPIs:预测区间条件预测区间
A classical question in statistics is which observable quantities to condition on when drawing inferences about unobservable targets. For conformal prediction in nonparametric uncertainty quantification, standard marginal validity offers limited resolution at the prediction values on which decisions are based, and fully conditional guarantees with respect to the covariates are provably unattainable. We address this gap by introducing a prediction-based conditioning framework…
