高维线性回归推断：基于 ℓ² 弱收敛AI 解读

We prove weak convergence in a separable Hilbert space for estimators of high-dimensional regression coefficients, which yields asymptotic normality and enables direct use of standard asymptotic tools such as the continuous mapping theorem. The approach permits diverging sparsity with many small nonzero coefficients, while requiring that only finitely many have moderate magnitude. As applications, we develop a test for finitely many linear hypotheses and, via a Scheffé-type…

快速蒙特卡洛AI 解读

This paper proposes an eigenvalue-based small-sample approximation of the celebrated Markov Chain Monte Carlo that delivers an invariant steady-state distribution that is consistent with traditional Monte Carlo methods. The proposed eigenvalue-based methodology reduces the number of paths required for Monte Carlo from as many as 1,000,000 to as few as 10 (depending on the simulation time horizon $T$), and delivers comparable, distributionally robust results, as measured by…

自适应采集数据下的核处理效应AI 解读

Adaptive experiments improve efficiency by adjusting treatment assignments based on past outcomes, but this adaptivity breaks the i.i.d.\ assumptions that underpin classical asymptotics. At the same time, many questions of interest are distributional, extending beyond average effects. Kernel treatment effects (KTE) provide a flexible framework by representing interventional outcome distributions in an RKHS and comparing them via kernel distances. We present the first…

利用无标签协变量的半监督处理效应估计与预测驱动因果推断AI 解读

This study investigates treatment effect estimation in the semi-supervised setting, also can be interpreted as prediction-powered inference. In our setting, we can use not only the standard triple of covariates, treatment indicator, and outcome, but also unlabeled auxiliary covariates. For this problem, we develop efficiency bounds and efficient estimators whose asymptotic variance aligns with the efficiency bound. In the analysis, we introduce two different data-generating…

自归一化鞅与线性回归的一致遗憾界AI 解读

Self-normalized martingale inequalities lie at the heart of confidence ellipsoids for online least squares and, more broadly, many bandit and reinforcement-learning results. Yet existing vector and scalar results typically rely on bounded covariates and an explicit regularization matrix, producing bounds that are \emph{not scale-invariant}: although the self-normalized quantity is scale-invariant by definition, its standard upper bounds are not. We characterize when…

含高维控制变量的 BLP 模型估计AI 解读

This study proposes a framework for estimating demand in differentiated product markets with high dimensional product characteristics, building upon the seminal Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995) model, using market level data. We allow for a very large set of potential product characteristics, where the number of characteristics may exceed the number of market observations. Our contributions are twofold. First, we establish a general estimation theory for BLP models…

网络装袋法：含个体固定效应的网络形成估计与推断AI 解读

We develop a unified estimation and inference framework for dyadic network formation with individual fixed effects, covering both transferable-utility (TU) and nontransferable-utility (NTU) links under general link functions. Under NTU, bilateral consent makes the fixed effects non-additive and the log-likelihood non-concave in the high-dimensional fixed effects, so differencing and profile-likelihood methods fail. We combine a joint method-of-moments initial estimator, a Le…

设计、杯子与毯子：基于自由能原理的产品设计方法AI 解读

Classical design theory treats the type of an object as a given: the designer decides in advance that this will be a cup, then optimizes its parameters. This paper argues that object type is not a presupposition but an inference, something that can be determined from physical data and functional requirements jointly. We call this problem requirement-steered interface type inference and show that it is inexpressible within existing design frameworks. This paper makes two…

GEEPERs：利用主分层评分与堆叠估计方程进行主分层分析AI 解读

Principal stratification is a framework for making sense of causal effects conditioned on variables that may themselves have been affected by the treatment. For instance, in an evaluation of an educational intervention, some subjects in the treatment group may not fully utilize the intervention, and researchers may be interested in how this subgroup is affected. Most principal stratification estimators rely on strong structural or modeling assumptions and often require…

Pi-Change：融合先验信息的多变点检测算法AI 解读

Statistical change point (CP) detection methods typically rely on likelihood-based inference and ignore contextual information about plausible CP locations beyond the observed sequence. Although informative priors provide a natural way to incorporate such information, general and computationally efficient methods for doing so are lacking, especially for multiple CP detection. To address this gap, we propose a prior-informed CP detection algorithm (Pi-Change) that…

度异质性双边网络形成模型的惩罚似然估计AI 解读

Estimating network formation models with degree heterogeneity raises two problems in empirical networks. First, agents that send no links, receive no links, or link to all remaining agents can make the fixed-effects MLE fail to exist. Trimming these agents changes the estimation sample and induces selection bias. Second, the incidental-parameter problem biases common parameters and average partial effects. We resolve both issues through a penalized likelihood approach. Our…

纵向函数对函数回归的高效推断AI 解读

We propose a computationally efficient inferential procedure for longitudinal function-on-function regression. The method follows a marginal three-step approach: (1) fit massive pointwise longitudinal scalar-on-function regression models, (2) smooth the resulting estimates along the bivariate functional domain, and (3) compute confidence bands using either an analytic approach for Gaussian data or a cluster bootstrap for Gaussian or non-Gaussian data. Simulation studies…

序列与空间依赖共同效应下的一般双向聚类自助推断AI 解读

This paper develops bootstrap procedures for inference in linear regression models with two-way clustered data. We characterize the estimator's asymptotic behavior in five mutually exclusive and exhaustive regimes: three Gaussian and two non-Gaussian. We establish four impossibility results: heterogeneous score components preclude uniform consistency; uniform consistency also fails in one non-Gaussian (infeasible) regime; the infeasible regime is not uniformly…

影响函数：局部稳健性与效率AI 解读

This paper introduces a direct differentiation-based framework that unifies the derivation of influence functions across parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric models. We show that the Riesz representer of the functional derivative is obtained by orthogonally projecting the identification function onto the subspace of mean-zero functions. Consequently, the influence function emerges as a linear transformation of this centered moment function. The approach extends…

交互固定效应因子数未知时的线性面板回归AI 解读

In this paper we study the least squares (LS) estimator in a linear panel regression model with unknown number of factors appearing as interactive fixed effects. Assuming that the number of factors used in estimation is larger than the true number of factors in the data, we establish the limiting distribution of the LS estimator for the regression coefficients as the number of time periods and the number of cross-sectional units jointly go to infinity. The main result of the…

含交互固定效应的动态线性面板回归模型AI 解读

We analyze linear panel regression models with interactive fixed effects and predetermined regressors, for example lagged-dependent variables. The first-order asymptotic theory of the least squares (LS) estimator of the regression coefficients is worked out in the limit where both the cross-sectional dimension and the number of time periods become large. We find two sources of asymptotic bias of the LS estimator: bias due to correlation or heteroscedasticity of the…

逻辑回归中变量选择与模型平均方法的比较AI 解读

Model uncertainty is a central challenge in statistical models for binary outcomes such as logistic regression, arising when it is unclear which predictors should be included in the model. Many methods have been proposed to address this issue for logistic regression, but their relative performance under realistic conditions remains poorly understood. We therefore conducted a preregistered, simulation-based comparison of 28 established methods for variable selection and…

自我中心群组实验设计下的处理效应与溢出效应估计AI 解读

Network interference occurs when a unit's outcome depends not only on its own treatment but also on the treatments received by connected units in the network. Experimental designs and analysis methods that ignore such interference can yield biased estimators of causal effects. In this paper, we develop a new experimental design for the estimation and inference of global treatment effect and spillover effect under a model-based framework and ego-cluster randomization. Under…

利用多个环境双重稳健识别处理效应AI 解读

Practical and ethical constraints often require the use of observational data for causal inference, particularly in medicine and social sciences. Yet, observational datasets are prone to confounding, potentially compromising the validity of causal conclusions. While it is possible to correct for biases if the underlying causal graph is known, this is rarely a feasible ask in practical scenarios. A common strategy is to adjust for all available covariates, yet this approach…

通过课程学习与耦合 PINN 为 Heston 模型下的美式期权定价AI 解读

In American options, the early exercise feature allows the option to be exercised at any time prior to expiration. However, this flexibility introduces a challenge: the pricing model must value the option while simultaneously determining an unknown, time-varying exercise boundary. The Heston model is one of the most popular ways to model real market behavior because it allows volatility to change over time. However, unlike European options, there is no closed-form solution…

总体规模的信息泄漏评估：Polymarket 内幕相关市场，2020—2026AI 解读

We carry the deadline-resolved Information Leakage Score (ILS-dl) framework of Nechepurenko (2026a, 2026b) from a single-case proof of concept to a population-scale evaluation across 12,708 Polymarket markets, October 2020 to April 2026. We frame the paper as a scope-discovery study: scaling reveals that the framework's effective domain is materially narrower than initial framing suggested, and the principal obstacle is not score computation but resolution semantics. We…

波动率粗糙度的随机化 Kolmogorov–Smirnov 分析AI 解读

We introduce a novel distribution-based estimator for the Hurst parameter of log-volatility, leveraging the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic to assess the scaling behavior of entire distributions rather than individual moments. To address the temporal dependence of financial volatility, we propose a random permutation procedure that effectively removes serial correlation while preserving marginal distributions, enabling the rigorous application of the KS framework to dependent…

采用结局优劣排序端点的整群随机试验AI 解读

Cluster randomized trials are widely used when individual randomization is logistically infeasible or when correlations between observations cannot be ignored, especially in fields such as ophthalmology, infectious disease, vaccine research, and sociology. The desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) framework evaluates patient-centric benefit-risk using an ordinal outcome and a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistic-based approach to compare outcome distributions between…

超越独立性：贝叶斯反演中的联合正态先验AI 解读

We consider joint inversion for two or more unknown parameters from observational data in the Bayesian framework. Standard approaches often either treat the parameters as independent or impose structural similarity through regularisation terms that can be difficult to interpret statistically. We instead construct jointly Gaussian prior models with prescribed Gaussian marginals, so that correlation between the parameters can be incorporated without altering the marginal prior…
