Randomized empirical likelihood test for ultra-high dimensional means under general covariances

Abstract This article proposes a calibrated empirical likelihood test for ultra-high dimensional means that incorporates multiple projections. Under weak moment conditions on the distributions of data, we analyse all possible asymptotic distributions of the proposed test statistic in different scenarios. To determine the critical value and enhance test power, we employ the random symmetrization method based on the group of sign flips and use multiple selected projections. The test can still maintain the significance level asymptotically, even in the presence of heterogeneity in the data distribution. Moreover, the proposed test procedure allows for general covariance structures and ultra-high dimensional regimes. Further, the power function reveals the relation with the projection term in an asymptotic sense such that we can select suitable projections to achieve good power in various scenarios. A quasi-Newton algorithm is introduced to reduce the computational cost arising from the intensive optimizations required for computing empirical likelihood. Numerical studies evidence the promising performance of the proposed test compared with existing tests.

高维线性回归的统一谱分析：去偏与阈值化AI 解读

We use spectral analysis to establish a unified theory of debiasing, thresholding, and simultaneous inference for high-dimensional linear regression with ill-conditioned designs. The methods include Ridge regression, spectral cut-off, and iterative and dynamical regression procedures. A common debiasing procedure uses two applications of the original linear algorithm with fixed parameters. Spectral analysis shows that debiasing squares the residual, while implementations…

基于偏 Gini 协方差的重尾误差高维线性模型稳健推断AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel robust high-dimensional inference framework based on partial Gini covariance. We specifically address the practically important problem of quantifying how changes in features affect the conditional mean in high-dimensional linear regression when the random noises are heavy-tailed and possibly asymmetric. Conventional high-dimensional regression inference methods suffer from inaccurate type I errors and reduced power in heavy-tailed contexts.…

Debiased Machine Learning when Nuisance Parameters Appear in Indicator Functions

Gyungbae Park首次提交 2024-03-23 · 修订 2026-10-08 · v3arXiv预印本

This paper studies debiased machine learning when nuisance parameters appear in indicator functions. An important example is maximized average welfare gain under optimal treatment assignment rules. For asymptotically valid inference for a parameter of interest, the current literature on debiased machine learning relies on Gateaux differentiability of the functions inside moment conditions, which does not hold when nuisance parameters appear in indicator functions. In this…

Longitudinal causal inference under informative missingness using the self-censoring model

自删失模型下信息性缺失的纵向因果推断AI 解读

Longitudinal observational data are often subject to informative missingness. For example, in healthcare research using electronic health records, covariates and outcomes are measured only when patients interact with the healthcare system. Whether these data are observed usually depends on the unobserved variable values themselves, introducing a common form of data missing not at random. We develop identification and estimation methods for the effects of longitudinal…

Regularized Exponentially Tilted Empirical Likelihood for Bayesian Inference

用于贝叶斯推断的正则化指数倾斜经验似然AI 解读

Bayesian inference with empirical likelihood faces a challenge as the posterior domain is a proper subset of the original parameter space due to the convex hull constraint. We propose a regularized exponentially tilted empirical likelihood to address this issue. Our method removes the convex hull constraint using a novel regularization technique, incorporating a continuous exponential family distribution to satisfy a Kullback--Leibler divergence criterion. The regularization…

A Simple Measure of Robustness for External Validity under Covariate Shifts

协变量漂移下外部有效性的简单稳健性度量AI 解读

This paper studies the robustness of estimated policy effects to changes in the distribution of covariates, a key determinant of the external validity of (quasi)experimental results. I propose a novel robustness metric δ ∗ which measures the smallest covariate shift needed to invalidate an empirical claim about the policy effect (e.g., AT E > 0). I estimate δ ∗ via de-biased GMM, achieving a parametric rate of convergence while accommodating machine-learning estimators of…
