Causal inference increasingly extends beyond classical causal effects defined by deterministic treatment assignments, such as the average treatment effect, to stochastic intervention effects that can weaken positivity requirements and offer greater policy relevance. Nonparametric Bayesian models are attractive for estimating these effects due to their flexibility and inherent uncertainty propagation, but this posterior uncertainty need not be well calibrated for the causal effect of interest. We develop a simple post-processing correction that can be applied to posterior samples without changing the prior or fitting algorithm. We prove that, for a broad class of stochastic interventions, the corrected posterior yields asymptotically efficient inference and credible intervals with asymptotically valid frequentist coverage; formally, it satisfies a semiparametric Bernstein-von Mises theorem. The theory covers interventions specified independently of the observed treatment process, as well as interventions that modify it, including incremental propensity score interventions and a new power-tilt intervention. A central contribution is new theory for SoftBART, including conditions under which this flexible tree-based Bayesian model supports calibrated Bayesian inference for stochastic intervention effects. In simulations, the correction reduces bias and improves coverage relative to the uncorrected Bayesian analysis while remaining competitive with frequentist alternatives. We illustrate the method by estimating how expected LDL cholesterol would change under hypothetical increases or decreases in the odds of receiving statin therapy.
采用局部—全局收缩的非正态变换有向无环图半参数贝叶斯结构学习
Bayesian structure learning of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is central to high-dimensional causal discovery, yet existing methods mostly assume multivariate Gaussian data, which is routinely violated by measurements displaying heavy tails, skewness, or bounded support. We address this by introducing NPN-DAG-HS, a fully Bayesian semiparametric DAG model coupling the nonparanormal family with horseshoe shrinkage on Cholesky off-diagonals via an extended-rank likelihood. This…
整群随机试验中因果中介效应的半参数贝叶斯推断
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are frequently used to evaluate interventions, yet conducting causal mediation analysis in these settings remains challenging, particularly when the mediator is measured at the cluster level and the number of clusters is small. Standard inference methods often rely on asymptotic assumptions that fail in finite-sample settings, leading to biased variance estimation and invalid confidence intervals. In this paper, we propose a robust inference…
半参数贝叶斯双重差分
This paper studies semiparametric Bayesian inference for the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) within the difference-in-differences (DiD) research design. We propose two new Bayesian methods with frequentist validity. The first one is the semiparametric Bayesian outcome regression, where we place a Gaussian process prior on the conditional mean function of the control group. The second method is a doubly robust Bayesian procedure that adjusts the prior…
通过广义贝叶斯对参数模型进行自适应非参数扰动
Parametric Bayesian modeling offers a powerful and flexible toolbox for machine learning. Yet the model, however detailed, may still be wrong, and this can make inferences untrustworthy. In this paper we introduce a new class of semiparametric corrections for parametric Bayesian models, when the target of inference is a functional of the true data distribution. Our starting point is a fully Bayesian modeling approach, which explicitly accounts for the possibility that the…
Neyman 正交性下的半参数贝叶斯推断
The validity of two-step or plug-in inference methods is questioned in the Bayesian framework. We study semi-parametric models where the plug-in of a non-parametrically modelled nuisance component is used. We show that when the nuisance and targeted parameters satisfy a Neyman orthogonal score property, the approach of cutting feedback through a two-step procedure is a valid way of conducting Bayesian inference. Our method relies on a non-parametric Bayesian formulation…
收益部分识别时的最优决策规则
We derive asymptotically optimal statistical decision rules for discrete choice problems when payoffs depend on a partially-identified parameter $θ$ and the decision maker can use a point-identified parameter $μ$ to deduce restrictions on $θ$. Examples include treatment choice under partial identification and pricing with rich unobserved heterogeneity. Our notion of optimality combines a minimax approach to handle the ambiguity from partial identification of $θ$ given $μ$ wit…
