存在低报的有序选择模型中的变化中变化方法AI 解读

We develop a Difference-in-Differences framework for discrete, ordered outcomes subject to underreporting. Such outcomes commonly arise in self-reported surveys on socially undesirable or stigmatized behaviors, where respondents may conceal their true behavior. For a discrete Changes-in-Changes model that is shown to admit an equivalent threshold-crossing representation, we derive nonparametric bounds for the counterfactual and factual outcome distributions as well as for…

稀疏正则化多边际最优传输与重心的中心极限定理及自助法AI 解读

Wasserstein barycenters are a fundamental tool for the analysis of distribution-valued data, but their computation and statistical analysis become challenging in high-dimensional and multi-sample settings. The unregularized barycenter problem is computationally demanding and suffers severely from the curse of dimensionality, making regularization essential in many applications. While regularized optimal transport methods are widely used, approaches based on entropic…

单共同因子模型下锚点与评判器误差相关的闭式估计及诊断AI 解读

When an external reference set (an anchor) is used to decompose an LLM-judge panel's error into a quality signal and a shared common-mode error, standard practice assumes the anchor is uncontaminated: its error uncorrelated with the judges' shared error. We study when that assumption can be dropped and replaced by an estimate. Under a single-common-factor model, >=2 judges and >=2 anchors point-identify the quality variance, the common-mode variance, and each anchor's…

时间序列概率重抽样的狄利克雷分位数自助法AI 解读

This work presents DPQBootstrap, a probabilistic resampling method for time series based on a Dirichlet quantile bootstrap and rank-based temporal reconstruction. The method aims to generate pseudo-series that preserve the main characteristics of the original series, including variability, quantiles, extreme values, and part of its temporal dependence. A simulation study compares DPQBootstrap with the Maximum Entropy Bootstrap implemented in the meboot package across eight…

合成双重差分中固定目标集合异质性的共享供体推断AI 解读

Empirical studies often estimate several synthetic-control or synthetic Difference-in-Differences effects from a common donor pool and then summarize their heterogeneity. Because the same donors enter several comparisons, the first-stage errors are jointly distributed and affect different targets differently. We characterize three regimes for linear fixed-set summaries: nonconcentration, root-rate donor exposure, and donornegligibility. We also show that removing…

高维函数型时间序列的同时变点推断AI 解读

We develop a framework for simultaneous change-point inference of high-dimensional functional time series. The observations are modeled as temporally dependent vectors whose coordinates take values in possibly different separable Hilbert spaces, thereby covering a broad class of functional data. Heterogeneous mean changes may occur at coordinate-specific locations, and the contemporaneous dependence across coordinates is left unrestricted. Our procedure is based on…

高维及可能非平稳时间序列的尾部稳健自协方差矩阵估计AI 解读

In this paper, we study the autocovariance matrix estimation and inference problems under heavy-tailedness, high-dimensionality, general nonlinear temporal dependence, and potentially nonstationarity of time series. We consider two types of tail-robust autocovariance matrix estimation methods: the element-wise Huber's $M$-estimator and a computationally more efficient element-wise truncated estimator. Both estimators are designed to achieve sharp error bounds in matrix…

二元结果配对研究的随机化推断AI 解读

We give an exact randomization-based confidence set for the average treatment effect (ATE) in matched-pair studies with a binary outcome, requiring neither monotonicity nor any distributional assumption beyond the within-pair coin flip. At its core is an analytic solution to the worst-case allocation of attributable effects: two binomial-symmetry lemmas identify the pattern hardest to reject as a single boundary corner, so testing null hypotheses needs no integer program and…

哪项政策有效、在哪里有效？双重差分中的州级处理效应估计与推断AI 解读

Policies with a common objective and implementation date may differ in details or context. We distinguish the aggregate average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) from sub-aggregate ATTs defined by implementation cohort, jurisdiction, period, or policy type. UN-DID and DID-INT, two DiD estimators that construct jurisdiction-by-time effects, estimate these ATTs under parallel-trends conditions matched to the aggregation. In CPS placebo-law simulations, randomization…

基于数据依赖分区的条件分布设定检验AI 解读

This article introduces a Pearson-type goodness-of-fit test for the parametric specification of conditional distribution models with continuous responses. Under correct specification, the Rosenblatt transform is uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$ conditionally on the explanatory variables. The test exploits this characterization by cross-classifying the transformed observations and the explanatory variables according to partitions of $[0,1]$ and their support, respectively.…

测地空间中函数型数据与随机对象的回归不连续设计AI 解读

Regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are widely used for causal inference in observational studies with cutoff-based treatment assignment, primarily for Euclidean outcomes. We propose the geodesic regression discontinuity design (GRDD), which extends RDDs to complex non-Euclidean outcomes, including networks, compositional data, functional data, and other random objects in geodesic metric spaces. Since algebraic operations are unavailable in such spaces, we define the…

利用 AI 生成测量识别缺失数据：弱影子变量方法AI 解读

Across business and social science applications, outcomes are often missing in ways that depend on the unobserved outcomes themselves. In service systems, for example, whether a customer submits a rating depends on the rating they would have provided. Such missing-not-at-random (MNAR) mechanisms make population quantities difficult to identify without strong assumptions on the observation process. Meanwhile, rich unstructured data, such as customer interaction histories, are…

迭代式分布计算多项逻辑回归AI 解读

This article introduces an iterative distributed computing estimator for the multinomial logistic regression model with large choice sets. Compared to the maximum likelihood estimator, the proposed iterative distributed estimator achieves significantly faster computation and, when initialized with a consistent estimator, attains asymptotic efficiency under a weak dominance condition. Additionally, we propose a parametric bootstrap inference procedure based on the iterative…

SCAN：通过自适应非参数推断依次检测变点AI 解读

Modern time series are often long, serially dependent, and non-stationary. Existing change-point methods either target specific changes or become computationally intensive when using nonparametric costs on long series. Many also require thresholds to be carefully calibrated under serial dependence. We introduce SCAN, an offline method for detecting multiple distributional change-points in long, serially dependent univariate time series. SCAN compares adjacent windows using…

使用合并逻辑回归的因果生存分析估计方程AI 解读

Background: Pooled logistic regression models are commonly applied in survival analysis. However, the standard implementation can be computationally demanding, which is further exacerbated when using the nonparametric bootstrap for inference. To ease these computational burdens, investigators often coarsen time intervals or assume a parametric functional form for time. These approaches impose restrictive assumptions, which may not always have a well-motivated substantive…

FLEX-CP-DT：计数终点与时间趋势下的期中无效性分析AI 解读

Many large-scale phase III trials with recurrent event endpoints include a pre-planned interim analysis to evaluate early futility. Conditional power (CP), which quantifies the probability of achieving statistical significance at the final analysis given the interim data, is a commonly used tool to support such decisions. The standard negative binomial model with an offset term, widely adopted for analyzing recurrent events, implicitly assumes that event rates and treatment…

函数型时间序列的频域自助法AI 解读

A frequency domain bootstrap procedure for functional time series is proposed and applied to the class of spectral mean operators. The procedure works by first generating independent pseudo periodogram operators across the positive Fourier frequencies using an estimator of the spectral density operator involved. Functional replicates of the spectral mean operators of interest are then generated. Through an additive, projection-based decomposition of the bootstrapped spectral…

线性非高斯结构方程模型的拟合优度检验AI 解读

The field of causal discovery develops model selection methods to infer cause-effect relations among a set of random variables. For this purpose, different modelling assumptions have been proposed to render cause-effect relations identifiable. One prominent assumption is that the joint distribution of the observed variables follows a linear non-Gaussian structural equation model. In this paper, we develop novel goodness-of-fit tests that assess the validity of this…

去偏Cox回归的野生自助法与Efron自助法AI 解读

Cox regression with Lasso penalization is widely used for variable selection in time-to-event data, but reliable coefficient inference after selection remains difficult. We investigate bootstrap inference for the debiased Cox estimator after Cox Lasso selection. Two score-based procedures are considered: a wild bootstrap using independent multipliers and an Efron bootstrap using centered multinomial resampling weights. Both procedures keep the original Cox Lasso fit and…

通过 Riesz 校准最优传输将随机试验效应迁移至现实人群AI 解读

Randomized trials support causal inference, but differences between trial and target populations can limit the transportability of treatment effects to real-world settings. Many existing approaches model the propensity of trial participation and can therefore be sensitive to model misspecification and weak overlap of the covariate distributions. Optimal Transport (OT) offers a different route by comparing the trial and target populations directly in covariate space. We…

计算预算约束下双重机器学习的均匀设计子抽样AI 解读

Double machine learning (DML) combines orthogonal scores with flexible nuisance estimation, but repeated cross-fitting and repeated analysis can make full-data workflows expensive. When a fixed computational budget requires a working sample of size $r\ll n$, simple random subsampling may cover the covariate space poorly and produce unstable treated--control composition. We propose Uniform Design Double Machine Learning (UD-DML), which maps a common low-discrepancy skeleton…

利用结构化均值变化的矩阵时间序列自适应变点检测AI 解读

In high-dimensional time series, the component processes are often assembled into a matrix to display their interrelationship. We focus on detecting mean shifts with unknown change point locations in these matrix time series. Series that are activated by a change may cluster along certain rows (columns), which forms mode-specific change point alignment. Leveraging mode-specific change point alignments may substantially enhance the power for change point detection. Yet, there…

成对数据回归模型的设定检验AI 解读

This paper develops omnibus specification tests for linear conditional-mean models with undirected dyadic data. We establish a uniform projection theorem that reduces the dyadic process to its latent first-order node projections under shared-node dependence. We then show that a raw first-order node-multiplier bootstrap is valid when this node component is nondegenerate but double-counts dyad-specific variation when dyads are independent. An exact covariance decomposition…

网络干扰下因果推断模型设定的随机化检验AI 解读

Analysis of experimental data becomes challenging when the underlying population is connected by a network. Exposure mapping is a common tool in the literature for defining and estimating spillover effects. These mappings reduce the dimensionality of the estimand, thereby facilitating identifiability. It is assumed that this mapping is correctly specified, leaving the choice of the exposure mapping to the analyst. This makes estimators of the spillover effect, such as the…
