熵正则化向量分位数回归的Sinkhorn算法AI 解读

Vector quantile regression (VQR) is an optimal transport (OT)-based framework that extends linear quantile regression to vector-valued response variables and can be formulated as an OT problem with a mean-independence constraint. In this paper, we study Sinkhorn-type algorithms for VQR with entropic regularization, building on the authors' previous work on its duality theory. We first study a direct adaptation of the classical Sinkhorn iteration based on solving the full…

形状约束下非参数推断的线性规划方法：回归折点设计应用AI 解读

We develop a novel method of constructing confidence bands for nonparametric regression functions under shape constraints. This method can be implemented via a linear programming, and it is thus computationally appealing. We illustrate a usage of our proposed method with an application to the regression kink design (RKD). Econometric analyses based on the RKD often suffer from wide confidence intervals due to slow convergence rates of nonparametric derivative estimators. We…

LAD 回归及其他 Z 估计问题的一致有效选择后推断AI 解读

We develop uniformly valid confidence regions for regression coefficients in a high-dimensional sparse median regression model with homoscedastic errors. Our methods are based on a moment equation that is immunized against non-regular estimation of the nuisance part of the median regression function by using Neyman's orthogonalization. We establish that the resulting instrumental median regression estimator of a target regression coefficient is asymptotically normally…

利用大量矩不等式推断因果与结构参数AI 解读

This paper considers the problem of testing many moment inequalities where the number of moment inequalities, denoted by $p$, is possibly much larger than the sample size $n$. There is a variety of economic applications where solving this problem allows to carry out inference on causal and structural parameters, a notable example is the market structure model of Ciliberto and Tamer (2009) where $p=2^{m+1}$ with $m$ being the number of firms that could possibly enter the…

高维近似稀疏分位数回归模型的有效选择后推断AI 解读

This work proposes new inference methods for a regression coefficient of interest in a (heterogeneous) quantile regression model. We consider a high-dimensional model where the number of regressors potentially exceeds the sample size but a subset of them suffice to construct a reasonable approximation to the conditional quantile function. The proposed methods are (explicitly or implicitly) based on orthogonal score functions that protect against moderate model selection…
