Instrumental variable regression is a common approach for causal inference in the presence of unobserved confounding. However, identifying valid instruments is often difficult in practice. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on possibility theory that performs posterior inference on the treatment effect, conditional on a user-specified set of potential violations of the instrument exogeneity assumption. Our method can provide valid results even when only a single, potentially invalid, instrument is available. Crucially, and in contrast with existing methods, we prove a finite-sample coverage guarantee for the exactly calibrated (validified) uncertainty intervals when the violation set contains the true value, and we provide practical MC/$χ^2$ approximations. Simulation experiments and real-data applications indicate strong performance of the proposed approach.
BGM-IV:面向高维协变量工具变量回归的贝叶斯生成建模
Instrumental-variable (IV) regression enables causal estimation under endogeneity, but modern IV problems often involve nonlinear structural effects and high-dimensional covariates. Existing methods typically operate in observed or generic learned feature spaces, and they often yield point estimates without uncertainty quantification. We introduce BGM-IV, a Bayesian generative modeling approach that performs nonlinear IV regression through posterior inference in a causally…
修正局部错设的 GMM:经验贝叶斯方法
Econometric models offer parsimonious but inexact approximations to data-generating processes. This paper studies the generalized method of moments (GMM) when exchangeable specification errors of order $n^{-1/2}$ contaminate the moment conditions. I develop estimators for the mean and variance of these specification errors, establishing their consistency in an asymptotic framework where the number of overidentifying restrictions grows with the sample size. These…
利用鞅后验推断反事实分布
Causal inference is often focused on average effects, which can hide important aspects of the effect distributions. Here we consider the entire posterior effects distribution by estimating full counterfactual outcome distributions. We propose a methodology for inference on counterfactual distributions which builds upon the martingale posterior framework of Fong et al. (2023). This provides a highly flexible approach to estimating densities, distribution functions, and…
弱工具变量下的多变量孟德尔随机化:贝叶斯与频率学派方法比较
Weak instruments are a well known limitation for valid causal inference in Mendelian randomization studies. In the single exposure setting, weak instrument bias can be mitigated by selecting genetic instruments which are strongly associated with the exposure according to p-value and/or F-statistic thresholds. However, in the multi-exposure setting, genetic instruments may be strongly associated with an exposure but weakly associated with it conditional on all other exposures…
因果工具变量模型中的贝叶斯模型平均
ABSTRACT Instrumental variables are a popular tool to infer causal effects under unobserved confounding, but choosing suitable instruments is challenging in practice. We propose gIVBMA, a Bayesian model averaging procedure that addresses this challenge by averaging across different sets of instrumental variables and covariates in a structural equation model. This allows for data‐driven selection of valid and relevant instruments and provides additional robustness against…
结合 BART 与主分层估计避孕使用对就业的影响:尼日利亚与塞内加尔
There is interest in learning about the causal effects of modern contraceptive use on empowerment outcomes. Data on this question often come from family planning (FP) programs that increase access to FP and facilitate contraceptive use among some women, rather than directly assigning use. Women whose contraceptive behavior changes because of these programs ("compliers") may differ from target populations in ways that alter the consequences of contraceptive use for…
