面向张量响应变量的一致特征筛选方法及其在全基因组面部形状关联中的应用AI 解读

As data collecting technologies advance, data structures are getting more and more complex, from single vectors to multi-dimensional tensors. This article is motivated by a variable selection problem to detect important genes from an ultrahigh dimensional pool that are associated with human facial shape variations. We propose a data-driven trimmed feature screening method based on a tensor ridge regression model (TrimTenRidge) through setting thresholds on the tensor…

利用异方差神经网络学习双向因果交互AI 解读

Estimating contemporaneous bidirectional interactions from observational data is difficult because each outcome is endogenous to the other, while flexible regressions may capture only reduced-form dependence. This paper proposes SEM-DNN, a heteroscedastic neural simultaneous-equation estimator that learns reciprocal structural interactions without external instruments. Identification exploits conditional covariance diagonalization: when structural shocks have zero…

高维变点检测的椭圆正则化Hotelling检验AI 解读

We propose an elliptical regularized Hotelling (ERHT) procedure for detecting location changes in high-dimensional sequences with heavy-tailed, cross-sectionally dependent observations. ERHT contrasts spatial medians on adjacent segments using a ridge-regularized inverse of the pooled centered spatial-sign covariance matrix, thereby combining robustness to radial variation with dependence-aware weighting. We establish Gaussian-process limits for the single- and…

从不规则且含误差的动物追踪数据推断资源选择与利用分布AI 解读

Habitat selection and space use are fundamental to understanding animal distribution. Traditional methods for quantifying habitat preferences from telemetry data assume regular sampling and negligible measurement error. However, these assumptions are routinely violated in marine systems. Practitioners typically regularize and filter the data before fitting models, but these two-step procedures do not propagate uncertainty from the filtering stage and can yield biased…

高维高斯线性回归中正则化路径变量选择的综合指南AI 解读

This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of complete regularization-path-based variable selection procedures in high-dimensional Gaussian linear regression. Our simulation study stands out from previous ones for several reasons. First, it offers comprehensive guidelines for complete variable selection, from regularization path construction to final variable subset selection. In particular, we compare jointly two convex regularization functions (Lasso and Elastic-Net)…

高维函数型时间序列的白噪声检验AI 解读

White noise testing is a fundamental problem in time series analysis. Yet it remains largely unsolved for high-dimensional functional time series, despite the growing attention this area has received in recent years, as existing tests are confined to either univariate functional time series or high-dimensional scalar time series. In this paper, we develop a general error-contamination framework for testing white noise in high-dimensional functional time series. We propose a…

GAUGER：干扰下基于图加权暴露水平残差化的回归调整AI 解读

Estimating causal effects under interference is a common problem in social science and economics. However, it is challenging due to the complex dependency structure induced by network connections. In this paper, we propose GAUGER, a Generalized regression Adjustment framework via Graph-weighted Exposure-level Residualization for design-based causal inference under general interference. We first reveal a surprising mismatch between accuracy and efficiency in this setting:…

时间依赖数据的高维变点分析AI 解读

This paper develops adaptive procedures for detecting and locating mean changes in high-dimensional time series. Quadratic CUSUM statistics target dense changes, whereas coordinatewise maximum statistics target sparse changes. Two weighting schemes are considered to accommodate both interior and boundary changes. Under general non-Gaussian vector dependence, we establish the limiting distributions, validate the required centering and scaling estimators, and prove asymptotic…

重尾预测变量的球协差筛选AI 解读

High-dimensional screening is commonly built on covariance, correlation, or least-squares measures. These summary measures can be unstable or even undefined, when predictors are sparse or have heavy-tailed distributions. Building on our recent work on extended codifference and the idea of Ball-covariance, we develop Ball-codifference for marginal screening in statistical modeling with heavy-tailed predictors and responses. The proposed statistic combines the rank-type…

动态处理效应与一般嵌套泛函的自动去偏机器学习AI 解读

Many canonical models in causal inference and structural econometrics have recursive identification formulas. In causal inference, recursion arises when identification requires both pre- and post-treatment covariates. For example, short-term surrogate outcomes are measured after the treatment, and serve as necessary covariates when identifying long-term effects. Post-treatment covariates are also required for identification of dynamic difference-in-differences designs,…

核岭回归的推断AI 解读

We provide uniform confidence bands for kernel ridge regression (KRR), a widely used nonparametric regression estimator for nonstandard data such as preferences, sequences, and graphs. Despite the prevalence of these data--e.g., student preferences in school matching mechanisms--the inferential theory of KRR is not fully known. We construct valid and sharp confidence sets that shrink at nearly the minimax rate, allowing nonstandard regressors. Our bootstrap procedure uses…

基于稀疏组Lasso的标记点过程强度估计：法国本土营利性与合作银行网点选址AI 解读

In this paper, we model the locations of five major banks in mainland France, two lucrative and three cooperative institutions based on socio-economic considerations. Locations of banks are collected using web scrapping and constitute a bivariate spatial point process for which we estimate nonparametrically summary functions (intensity, Ripley and cross-Ripley's K functions). This shows that the pattern is highly inhomogenenous and exhibits a clustering effect especially at…

MENS：金融应用中非正态变换模型的非线性收缩估计AI 解读

We develop a theory of nonlinear shrinkage covariance estimation for nonparanormal (Gaussian-copula) models, in which each observed coordinate is an unknown strictly increasing transformation of a latent Gaussian vector. This model accommodates arbitrary marginal skewness and heavy marginal tails while retaining a Gaussian dependence structure, and it is the natural semiparametric setting for heavy-tailed, asymmetric financial returns. Our estimator, marginal-free nonlinear…

用于交错实施的固定效应因果森林及其医保扩张应用AI 解读

Difference-in-differences with staggered adoption identifies group-time average treatment effects ATT(g,t) by comparing each cohort to units not yet treated, which avoids the "forbidden comparisons" that bias two-way fixed-effects estimators when effects are heterogeneous. This paper studies the covariate-conditional version of that object, tau_{g,t}(x), and estimates it with a fixed-effects causal forest. Within each (g,t) comparison block, the outcome and treatment are…

稠密测量误差下的网络溢出效应估计AI 解读

This paper analyzes spillover effects in spatial (network) models when the neighborhood (adjacency) matrix is contaminated by measurement error from reporting, aggregation, or disclosure imperfections, leading to inconsistent estimation of network effects. We introduce a regularization framework for the latent network that allows for sparse and/or low-rank structure and accommodates potential correlation between measurement errors and outcomes. We propose two estimators: (i)…

面向多模态协变量的平面曲线深度形状回归AI 解读

The shape of a planar curve is the geometric information that remains once translation, rotation, scale and reparametrisation are removed and is of interest in many health applications, e.g. in neuroimaging. We propose a deep shape regression model for open planar curves that admits multimodal and high-dimensional covariates. Representing curves as complex-valued functions, we show that the conditional full Procrustes mean is the leading eigenfunction of the conditional…

贝叶斯变平面回归AI 解读

Change-plane regression represents treatment effect heterogeneity through an interpretable rule that assigns patients to two groups according to whether a linear score of baseline covariates crosses a threshold. Although easy to communicate, likelihood-based inference for the hard threshold is nonregular, invalidating standard large-sample approximations. We develop a Bayesian framework that replaces the sharp indicator with a smooth probit gate at a declared smoothing scale…

贝叶斯迁移学习：面向高维线性回归的估计与推断改进AI 解读

Transfer learning enhances model performance in a target population with limited samples by leveraging knowledge from related studies. While many works focus on improving predictive performance, challenges of statistical inference persist. Bayesian approaches naturally offer uncertainty quantification for parameter estimates, yet existing Bayesian transfer learning methods are typically limited to single-source scenarios or require individual-level data. We introduce…

小样本临床试验中协变量调整风险差的评估AI 解读

Binary endpoints are common in clinical trials and conditional odds ratios have traditionally been used to assess treatment effects. However, the interpretation of odds ratios is difficult, they are non-collapsible, and conditional odds-ratios obtained from regression models additionally rely on modeling assumptions in order to be a relevant overall summary measure for the trial. As an alternative, risk differences have gained increasing prominence as a more interpretable,…

预测变量个数发散时基于加权残差过程的回归模型检验AI 解读

The integrated conditional moment (ICM) test is a classical and widely used method for assessing the adequacy of regression models. Although it performs well in fixed-dimension settings, its behavior changes dramatically when the predictor dimension diverges: in such regimes, the limiting null and alternative distributions of the ICM statistic degenerate to fixed constants. Moreover, when the number of predictors diverges, the commonly used wild bootstrap no longer…

基于持久拉普拉斯特征的在线变点检测AI 解读

Online change-point detection in high-dimensional nonlinear time series faces two challenges. The underlying distributions are difficult to model, and state changes are difficult to characterize. We propose persistent Laplacian cumulative sum (PL-CUSUM) to address these challenges. PL-CUSUM maps delay-embedded sliding windows to point clouds. It extracts persistent Betti vectors and the positive spectra of persistent Laplacians from the same Vietoris-Rips filtration. A…

含噪测量下高维 Ornstein–Uhlenbeck 过程的快速数据反演AI 解读

In this work, we develop a scalable approach for a flexible latent factor model for high-dimensional dynamical systems. Each latent factor process has its own correlation and variance parameters, and the orthogonal factor loading matrix can be either fixed or estimated. We utilize an orthogonal factor loading matrix that avoids computing the inversion of the posterior covariance matrix at each time of the Kalman filter, and derive closed-form expressions in an…

两样本孟德尔随机化的自适应惩罚与自助平滑推断AI 解读

Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to estimate causal effects from observational data using summary association statistics. However, horizontal pleiotropy can invalidate standard MR estimators and lead to biased causal inference. Pleiotropy-robust methods have been proposed to address this issue, including regularization-based approaches such as MR-Lasso. However, MR-Lasso may fail to identify invalid instruments…

在电子健康记录表型算法中使用二元银标签AI 解读

Gold-standard phenotype labels are often unavailable at scale in electronic health record (EHR) studies because they require manual chart review. Weakly supervised phenotyping methods instead use silver-standard labels, such as diagnosis-code counts, natural language processing (NLP) mentions, medication indicators, or laboratory thresholds. PheNorm is widely used for this purpose, but its original formulation was designed for count-valued silver labels and relies on log…
