Cluster-induced target shift and synthetic approximation for high-dimensional clustered data
高维聚类数据中的估计目标偏移与合成近似
In high-dimensional clustered data, covariates whose distributions differ across clusters can act as proxies for unobserved cluster effects. We show that the marginal-model LASSO implicitly uses sparse combinations of such covariates to shift the estimation target from structural coefficients to a contaminated vector, which inflates false selections. We therefore propose the Synthetic Heterogeneous-Effects LASSO (SHEL), which augments the regression design with separately…
