含未观测混杂因素的贝叶斯结构化中介分析AI 解读

We explore methods to reduce the impact of unobserved confounders on the causal mediation analysis of high-dimensional mediators with spatially smooth structures, such as brain imaging data. The key approach is to incorporate the latent individual effects, which influence the structured mediators, as unobserved confounders in the outcome model, thereby potentially debiasing the mediation effects. We develop BAyesian Structured Mediation analysis with Unobserved confounders…

基于加性树模型的两样本密度比比较AI 解读

The ratio of two densities provides a direct characterization of their differences. We consider the two-sample comparison problem by estimating this ratio given i.i.d. observations from two distributions. To this end, we propose additive tree models for density ratio estimation along with efficient algorithms using a new loss function, the balancing loss. The loss allows tree-based models to be trained using several algorithms originally designed for supervised learning,…
