结局缺失下高维线性模型的有效推断AI 解读

This paper is concerned with inference on the regression function of a high-dimensional linear model when outcomes are missing at random. We propose an estimator that combines a Lasso pilot estimate of the regression function with a bias correction term based on the weighted residuals of the Lasso regression. The weights depend on estimates of the missingness probabilities (propensity scores) and solve a convex optimization program that trades off bias and variance…

连续处理因果导数效应的双重稳健推断AI 解读

Statistical methods for causal inference with continuous treatments mainly focus on estimating the mean potential outcome function, commonly known as the dose-response curve. However, it is often not the dose-response curve but its derivative function that signals the treatment effect. In this paper, we investigate nonparametric inference on the derivative of the dose-response curve with and without the positivity condition. Under the positivity and other regularity…

不依赖正值性条件的剂量反应曲线非参数推断AI 解读

Existing statistical methods in causal inference often assume the positivity condition, where every individual has some chance of receiving any treatment level regardless of covariates. This assumption could be violated in observational studies with continuous treatments. In this paper, we develop identification and estimation theories for causal effects with continuous treatments (i.e., dose-response curves) without relying on the positivity condition. Our approach…
