Ecological networks offer powerful insights into community function, but without first characterizing these networks accurately, our ability to detect and interpret changes under environmental stress is limited. We develop an approach to reduce bias in link prediction in the common scenario in which data are derived from studies focused on a small number of species. Our Extended Covariate-Informed Link Prediction (COIL+) framework employs a latent factor model that flexibly borrows information across species, incorporates species traits and phylogeny, and leverages information from multiple studies to address uncertainty in species occurrence. We also propose a trait-matching procedure that allows heterogeneity in species-level trait-interaction associations. We illustrate the approach with a literature-based dataset of 268 sources reporting Afrotropical frugivory and compare performance with and without correction for occurrence uncertainty. COIL+ substantially improves link prediction and reduces sampling bias, revealing 5637 likely but unobserved frugivory interactions (a median of nine additional interactions per frugivore). Newly predicted interactions are concentrated among poorly sampled frugivores, such as the water chevrotain (Hyemoschus aquaticus, a small forest-dwelling ungulate) and the rufous-bellied helmetshrike (Prionops rufiventris, a passerine bird of East African tropical forests). Additionally, the method improves model discrimination compared to existing methods under strong taxonomic bias and narrow study focus. This framework generalizes to diverse network contexts and provides a useful tool for link prediction in the face of biased interaction data.
Predict-then-optimize methods learn a mapping from features to unknown edge costs. They then solve the shortest-path problem on the predicted costs. We study a feature-free alternative for the case where the decision-maker observes many noisy cost vectors on a fixed network. The cost vectors are denoised by an eigenvalue decomposition (PCA) of their covariance matrix. Dijkstra's algorithm then runs on the result. We test this on the $5\times5$ grid of \citet{elmachtoub2022},…
存在干扰时合成控制的稳健回归方法
Synthetic control methods are widely used for policy evaluation, but most existing approaches rule out interference among units, compromising validity when such effects are present. We develop a framework that accommodates contaminated donor pools and unknown interference patterns through two stages: factor-model adjustment for unobserved confounding, followed by robust regression in which direct and interference effects appear as a sparse outlier component. We study two…
有向网络互惠效应的最优估计与检验
The $p_1$ model plays a fundamental role in modeling directed networks, where the reciprocal effect parameter $ρ$ is of special interest in practice. However, due to nonlinear factors in this model, how to estimate $ρ$ efficiently is a long-standing open problem. We tackle the problem by the cycle count approach. The challenge is, due to the nonlinear factors in the model, for any given type of generalized cycles, the expected count is a complicated function of many…
共同冲击下固定 T 的动态空间面板模型
We study a dynamic spatial panel model with observed regressors, interactive effects, and contemporaneous and lagged dependence in a large-$N$, fixed-$T$ framework. The spatial model constitutes an $N$-dimensional simultaneous-equations system. In this $N$-equation view, the interactive effects introduce $N$ unit-specific loading vectors. Estimating them individually when $T$ is fixed creates the type of incidental-parameters problem underlying Nickell bias. We use the $N$-eq…
带结构化收缩先验的连续时间贝叶斯网络:大规模电子健康记录中的多病轨迹建模
Multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) arise through complex, time-dependent interactions among diseases, yet existing methods often struggle to jointly model disease progression, multimorbidity networks, and high-dimensional risk factors. We propose a structured Bayesian continuous-time Bayesian network (CTBN) framework for learning directed disease-dependency networks from longitudinal electronic health records. The model allows disease transition intensities to depend on…
时空因果推断的潜在因子面板方法
Unmeasured confounding can severely bias causal effect estimates from spatiotemporal observational data, especially when the confounders do not vary smoothly in time and space. In this work, we develop a method for addressing unmeasured confounding in spatiotemporal contexts by building on models from the panel data literature and methods in multivariate causal inference. Our method is based on a factor confounding assumption, which posits that effects of unmeasured…
