Shape-constrained nonparametric regression is a growing area in econometrics, statistics, operations research, machine learning and related fields. In the field of productivity and efficiency analysis, recent developments in the multivariate convex regression and related techniques such as convex quantile regression and convex expectile regression have bridged the long-standing gap between the conventional deterministic-nonparametric and stochastic-parametric methods. Unfortunately, the heavy computational burden and the lack of powerful, reliable, and fully open access computational package has slowed down the diffusion of these advanced estimation techniques to the empirical practice. The purpose of the Python package pyStoNED is to address this challenge by providing a freely available and user-friendly tool for the multivariate convex regression, convex quantile regression, convex expectile regression, isotonic regression, stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data, and related methods. This paper presents a tutorial of the pyStoNED package and illustrates its application, focusing on the estimation of frontier cost and production functions.
劳动者侧歧视:信念与偏好
When agents choose among options with unobserved attributes to maximize expected utility, their choices conflate preferences with beliefs about those attributes. We develop a novel theory-driven identification strategy for such settings, showing that compensating differentials separately identify beliefs from preferences. Noting that workers’ preferences and beliefs shape labor market outcomes, yet remain understudied, we apply our method to provide the first evidence on the…

There are many nonparametric objects of interest that are functionals of a conditional distribution, such as average treatment effects conditional on a low-dimensional set of covariates. We define a conditional influence function (CIF) as the Gateaux derivative of a conditional parameter with respect to perturbations of the conditional law of a single observation given the conditioning variable. CIFs generalize classical influence functions and can be used to (i) construct…
利用双重机器学习估计直接与间接分位数处理效应
We propose a framework to disentangle the quantile treatment effect of a binary treatment at a specific rank into an indirect quantile treatment effect that operates through a mediator and an unmediated direct quantile treatment effect. We establish identification results for these effects under the sequential ignorability assumption and propose double/debiased machine learning estimators, based on the efficient influence functions of the cumulative distribution functions of…
异质环境下的不变量分位数回归
In this paper, we propose an invariant quantile regression (IQR) framework specifically designed for multi-environment datasets, which captures the invariance across different environments. This framework is closely related to transfer learning, causal inference, and fair machine learning, and is motivated by scenarios in which the conditional probability of the response given covariates varies, while certain key variables remain invariant. This perspective differs notably…
条件平均处理效应函数下水平集概率的非参数推断
The average treatment effect can obscure important heterogeneity when individuals respond differently to a treatment. While the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) function captures such heterogeneity, it is difficult to communicate when it depends on many covariates. Sublevels sets of a multivariate CATE function are equally complicated objects, but the probability of a sublevel set of a CATE function is a single number with a simple interpretation as the proportion…
神经生成式分布回归
Any continuous conditional distribution of $Y$ given $X$ can be generated from a transform of a known noise distribution $U$ such as the uniform or normal distribution via $Y = g(X, U)$. This paper provides an estimator of such a generative transformation $g$ by minimizing the empirical energy distance between distributions of $Y$ and $g(X, U)$, and implements it via neural networks. The estimated distribution can then be readily applied to downstream tasks such as…
