个体处理效应的预测区间与锐界AI 解读

Individual treatment effect (ITE) is often regarded as the ideal target of inference in causal analyses and has been the focus of several recent studies. In this paper, we describe the intrinsic limits regarding what can be learned concerning ITEs given data from large randomized experiments. We consider when a valid prediction interval for the ITE is informative and when it can be bounded away from zero. The joint distribution over potential outcomes is only partially…

两个随机变量之和的分布界：重访Kolmogorov问题及个体处理效应应用AI 解读

We revisit the following problem, proposed by Kolmogorov: given prescribed marginal distributions $F$ and $G$ for random variables $X,Y$ respectively, characterize the set of compatible distribution functions for the sum $Z=X+Y$. Bounds on the distribution function for $Z$ were first given by Markarov (1982) and Rüschendorf (1982) independently. Frank et al. (1987) provided a solution to the same problem using copula theory. However, though these authors obtain the same…
