度量空间时间序列的在线分布变化检测AI 解读

We propose an online testing framework for detecting distributional changes in serially dependent data with values in a separable metric space. Based on two-sample $U$-statistics, the framework encompasses sequential analogs of energy distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) procedures while accommodating temporal dependence. We establish asymptotic theory for finite and open-ended monitoring horizons that characterizes the full asymptotic run-length distribution under $H_0$…

集约边际与广延边际上的处理效应评估AI 解读

This paper provides a solution to the evaluation of treatment effects in selective samples when neither instruments nor parametric assumptions are available. We provide sharp bounds for average treatment effects under a conditional monotonicity assumption for all principal strata, i.e. units characterizing the complete intensive and extensive margins. Most importantly, we allow for a large share of units whose selection is indifferent to treatment, e.g. due to…

鞅持续触发时：真实预测流中的随时有效门控AI 解读

Machine learning systems are increasingly corrected while they run, and the decision of when to intervene is increasingly delegated to statistical monitors. Anytime-valid inference promises evidence that can be acted on at any moment, exactly the guarantee this setting needs, and it is moving from theory into deployed monitoring. Conformal test martingales are the change-detection instrument, and Ville's inequality caps their false-alarm probability on exchangeable data. The…

高维混杂下纵向数据的异质性分位数处理效应估计（第二版）AI 解读

Causal inference plays a fundamental role in various real-world applications. However, in the motivating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) study, it is challenging to estimate the treatment effect of chemotherapy on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). First, the heterogeneous treatment effects vary across patient subgroups defined by baseline characteristics. Second, there exists a broad set of demographic, clinical and molecular variables act as potential confounders. Third,…

残差分支缩放作为隐式架构正则化改善过参数化 ResNet 的泛化AI 解读

Scaling factors in residual branches have emerged as a prevalent method for boosting neural network performance, especially in normalization-free architectures. While prior work has primarily examined scaling effects from an optimization perspective, this paper investigates their role in residual architectures through the lens of generalization theory. Specifically, we establish that wide residual networks (ResNets) with constant scaling factors become asymptotically…

广义岭回归与卷积LASSOAI 解读

We derive the complete duality theory underlying the Hodrick--Prescott filter, whose rank-deficient second-difference penalty admits infinitely many equivalent trend representations via generalized inverses. Constructing two canonical choices---the Moore--Penrose-based \emph{B-representation} and an alternative \emph{A-representation}---we prove that the extracted trend is invariant across representations, obtain a closed-form Bregman-type divergence quantifying their…

通过惩罚最小二乘实现一步式分组因子分析AI 解读

In this article, we revisit the problem of group factor analysis and propose a one-step penalized least squares method to estimate the factor loadings and factors in large-dimensional group factor models, offering a distinct alternative to the conventional two-step principal component approach. Our procedure originates from the equivalence between the group factor structure and the carefully tailored identification conditions. Leveraging this insight, we develop a tricky…

多元空间小区域估计中随机效应的全局—局部收缩先验AI 解读

Small area estimation (SAE) plays a central role in survey statistics and epidemiology, providing reliable estimates for domains with limited sample sizes. The multivariate Fay-Herriot model has been extensively used for this purpose, because it enhances estimation accuracy by borrowing strength across multiple correlated variables. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian extension of the multivariate Fay-Herriot model that enables flexible, component-specific shrinkage of the…

惩罚化逻辑广义回归估计量AI 解读

Under a model-assisted framework, a penalized logistic generalized regression estimator is developed to estimate a finite population proportion from complex survey data and auxiliary data. The proposed estimator controls the impact of unnecessary auxiliary variables through a lasso or ridge penalty. A central limit theorem is derived for the penalized regression coefficients and for the penalized logistic generalized regression estimator. Through simulations, it is shown…

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…

异质性治疗效应蒸馏：因果推断中的稳定亚组估计AI 解读

Recent methodological developments have introduced new black-box approaches to better estimate heterogeneous treatment effects; however, these methods fall short of providing interpretable characterizations of the underlying individuals who may be most at risk or benefit most from receiving the treatment, thereby limiting their practical utility. In this work, we introduce causal distillation trees (CDT) to estimate interpretable subgroups. CDT allows researchers to fit any…

局部爆炸性时间序列的尾部感知密度预测：神经网络方法AI 解读

Mixed causal--noncausal (anticipative) models capture locally explosive dynamics and provide economically meaningful probabilities of continuation and collapse, but forecasting with them remains computationally difficult. We develop a two-stage framework that estimates such an ARMA model and then learns its predictive density using a Mixture Density Network with skewed-t components, tail-aware training weights, and post-hoc calibration. The approach accommodates the heavy…

改进关系事件模型：贝叶斯惩罚与变量选择AI 解读

Relational Event Models (REMs) provide valuable insights into the dynamics of longitudinal social networks. Yet, the vast availability of potential predictors for a dyad's event rate poses the risk of selecting irrelevant variables and specifying an overfitted model that does not generalize to new data. Despite the recent popularity of Bayesian regularization methods to address this, there has not been a systematic evaluation of the performance of Exact Bayesian…

用于诊断事件流高阶时间依赖的超边触发 Hawkes 过程AI 解读

Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess a likelihood-based EM procedure for diagnosing higher-order temporal dependence in multivariate event streams. Multivariate Hawkes processes provide a likelihood-based framework for modelling self- and cross-excitation in continuous-time event streams, but their standard pairwise formulation can confound dense dyadic excitation with genuinely group-triggered temporal dependence. We introduce a hyperedge-triggered Hawkes model in which…

用于方程发现的概率符号回归：算子诱导与正则化符号森林AI 解读

Symbolic regression has emerged as a powerful tool for artificial intelligence-driven scientific discovery by learning interpretable analytical expressions that reveal governing relationships directly from data. Existing methods, however, often rely on heuristic search, struggle to balance predictive accuracy with expression complexity in noisy settings, and offer limited characterization of symbolic uncertainty. Probabilistic approaches that address these challenges in a…

基于因果图的方差分解：何时解释方差意味着因果作用AI 解读

Recursive application of the law of total variance decomposes the marginal variance of an outcome into components attributed to explanatory variables and a residual component. The resulting decomposition depends on the chosen conditioning order, and its components do not in general have causal interpretations. We develop a graph-based framework for defining causal counterparts of ordered variance components and establishing their identification from observed data. Under…

DIRECT：分解视觉内容分析中的受众偏好与创作效应AI 解读

Which visual choices make a post perform better? A growing literature answers this question with pooled coefficients estimated across many creators, which platforms translate into creative recommendations. We show that these coefficients blend two distinct patterns that can point in opposite directions for the same attribute. The first, audience preference, arises because creators who favor a style attract differently composed audiences, so their posts perform differently…

提高检验功效的统一自适应富集设计AI 解读

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating treatment effects, but fixed eligibility criteria and enrollment decisions can be inefficient, especially when treatment effects vary across patient subpopulations. Adaptive enrichment trials update enrollment using interim data to improve efficiency. Enrichment methods are developed for two settings: prespecified subgroups, and continuous covariates where enrollment is guided by a learned cutoff. Many…

高维网络数据的统计推断AI 解读

We develop a novel method of inference for network-dependent high-dimensional random vectors. Dependence is characterized via a functional dependence measure based on graph distance, allowing the approximation theory to capture the interaction between the decay of dependence and the growth of network neighborhoods. We establish Gaussian approximation results for the maximum norm under finite-moment and sub-Weibull conditions, providing explicit conditions under which the…

空间相关函数数据的小波贝叶斯层级模型与正则化马蹄先验AI 解读

Environmental monitoring networks increasingly record pollutant levels as curves observed over time at fixed stations. Yet, exposure and risk assessment often require predicting these curves, with their uncertainty, at unmonitored locations. Conventional smooth-basis methods for such spatially correlated functional data, including spline-based kriging, tend to over-smooth acute, high-frequency episodes such as pollution peaks. We propose a parsimonious wavelet-based Bayesian…

处理—混杂反馈下电力需求的边际结构模型与连续处理自适应 LASSOAI 解读

Temperature is the most important meteorological driver of electricity demand, but its causal effect has not been estimated under the time-varying confounding that characterizes weather processes. Current temperature is associated with weather conditions, including precipitation, snow cover, and cloud cover, that also influence electricity demand, and past temperature shapes future weather, producing treatment-confounder feedback under which standard regression adjustment is…

正则化高维加性张量自回归模型AI 解读

High-dimensional time series has diverse applications in econometrics and finance. Recent models for capturing temporal dependence have employed a bilinear representation for matrix time series, or the Tucker-decomposition based representation in case of tensor time series. A Tucker-decomposition based temporal effect is difficult to interpret on many occasions, along with its computational complexity due to the non-convex nature of the underlying optimization problem.…

指数随机图模型的经验贝叶斯弹性网计算AI 解读

Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) describe dependence among network ties, but inference becomes difficult when the likelihood is intractable and candidate network statistics are strongly correlated. We introduce BERGM Elastic Net, an adaptive empirical-Bayes approach that combines lasso shrinkage with ridge stabilization in a Bayesian ERGM. A latent-variable formulation supports approximate exchange sampling, while empirical-Bayes updates adapt the amount of…

广义 Riesz 回归：基于 Bregman 散度拟合的去偏机器学习统一框架AI 解读

Estimating the Riesz representer is central to debiased machine learning, yet the generator and representer model determine which regression directions their first-order conditions protect. We introduce generalized Riesz regression, which minimizes a Bregman divergence made observable by the Riesz identity. Squared and Kullback--Leibler-type choices recover Riesz regression, tailored loss minimization, and density-ratio objectives. For any twice-differentiable generator and…
