最优加权平均导数效应AI 解读

Weighted average derivative effects (WADEs) are nonparametric estimands with uses in economics and causal inference. Debiased WADE estimators typically require learning the conditional mean outcome as well as a Riesz representer (RR) that characterises the requisite debiasing corrections. RR estimators for WADEs often rely on kernel estimators, introducing complicated bandwidth-dependant biases. In our work we propose a new class of RRs that are isomorphic to the class of…

理解基于有效影响函数的统计学习AI 解读

Evaluation of treatment effects and more general estimands is typically achieved via parametric modelling, which is unsatisfactory since model misspecification is likely. Data-adaptive model building (e.g. statistical/machine learning) is commonly employed to reduce the risk of misspecification. Naive use of such methods, however, delivers estimators whose bias may shrink too slowly with sample size for inferential methods to perform well, including those based on the…
