Banach 空间中含测量误差的非参数回归AI 解读

We consider nonparametric regression with a Banach-space-valued predictor where the covariate takes values in a general separable Banach space. Our primary objective is to develop a unified framework for estimating the regression operator without relying on an inner-product structure, thereby extending classical and functional nonparametric regression beyond Euclidean and Hilbert spaces in the presence of measurement error. We establish the fundamental properties of the…

缺失数据下广义潜因子模型的初始化、隐式正则化与推断AI 解读

Generalized latent factor models provide a flexible framework for analyzing high-dimensional non-Gaussian data, but principled estimation and uncertainty quantification under missingness remain substantially less developed. We develop a theory that connects a computationally tractable nonconvex procedure directly to statistical inference for nonlinear latent factor models with exponential-family links and partially observed entries. Our procedure combines a link-aware…

基于正交机器学习的非参数异质性因果中介分析AI 解读

Causal mediation analysis decomposes the total effect of an intervention on an outcome into a direct pathway and an indirect pathway transmitted through a mediator, but standard methods typically summarize these pathways using population average effects. In many applications, however, the indirect effect may vary substantially across individual profiles. We propose an orthogonal statistical learning framework for estimating heterogeneous causal mediation effects conditional…

通过Johnson–Lindenstrauss变换实现差分隐私Model-X KnockoffsAI 解读

We introduce a novel privatization framework for high-dimensional controlled variable selection. Our framework enables rigorous False Discovery Rate (FDR) control under differential privacy constraints. While the Model-X knockoff procedure provides FDR guarantees by constructing provably exchangeable ``negative control" features, existing privacy mechanisms like Gaussian noise injection disrupt its core exchangeability conditions. In this work we consider privatizing the…

多重行为均衡模型中的估计与推断AI 解读

We develop estimation and inference methods for a macroeconomic model with potentially multiple behavioural equilibria, where agents form expectations using a constant-gain learning rule. We discuss identification, estimation, and inference for the structural parameters and propose uniform confidence bands for the equilibria. When equilibrium solutions are repeated, mixed convergence rates and non-standard limit distributions emerge. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical…

分位数回归的固定平滑一致推断AI 解读

This paper develops fixed-smoothing (fixed-b, fixed-K) inference methods for time-series quantile regression that are robust to heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. Our approach is uniformly valid over quantile levels and accounts for dependence both over time and across quantiles. It enables the construction of uniform confidence bands, Wald, and Sup-t tests for joint hypotheses, and tests of shape restrictions, providing a unified framework for assessing heterogeneity…

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…

因果状态依赖局部投影AI 解读

State-dependent local projections (LPs) are widely used to study how causal effects vary as a function of economic states, but shock exogeneity alone does not identify this response function. We show that identification follows when the underlying conditional mean is linear in the shock with a state-dependent coefficient, a condition satisfied in canonical micro-macro environments, including first-order perturbation solutions of heterogeneous-agent and macro-finance models.…

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…

观察研究敏感性模型下错误发现比例的同时推断AI 解读

We provide an approach to exploratory data analysis in observational studies with a single intervention and multiple endpoints. In such settings, the researcher would like to explore evidence for actual treatment effects while accounting for both false discoveries and the potential impact of unmeasured confounding. For any candidate subset of hypotheses about these outcomes, we provide sensitivity sets for the proportion of the hypotheses within the subset which are true.…

非可分第一阶段下加性可分三角模型的闭式估计与一致推断AI 解读

This paper studies the nonparametric identification and estimation of additively separable triangular models with continuous endogenous and instrumental variables, allowing for a nonseparable first-stage equation. Under the independence of instrumental variables and unobservables, we show that the outcome function possesses a closed-form expression as a functional of conditional cumulative distribution functions. The resulting plug-in estimators require no regularization and…

网络干扰下分位数效应的一致推断AI 解读

This paper studies quantile treatment and spillover effects in network experiments. Average spillover effects reveal how treating a unit's neighbors affects its outcome on average, but mask the heterogeneity of these effects across the outcome distribution. We define structural quantile effects that compare outcome quantiles between exposure states, characterizing how own treatment and exposure to treated neighbors affect different parts of the outcome distribution. Building…

含噪网络测量下时变网络构成与预测依赖的分离AI 解读

A common question about networked time series is whether outcomes changed because shocks transmit more strongly or because the pattern of connections changed. Standard practice inserts a recorded network into an outcome regression and reads movements of the fitted coefficient as changes in transmission strength. When the network is latent, time varying, and measured with error, this reading fails: changes in strength and changes in composition can produce the same outcome…

自相关系数的同时推断带AI 解读

Sample autocorrelograms typically come with significance (non-rejection) bands for the null hypothesis of no temporal correlation. These bands have three shortcomings. First, they build on pointwise intervals and suffer from joint undercoverage (overrejection) under the null hypothesis. Second, in cases where this null is clearly violated one would rather prefer to see confidence bands to quantify estimation uncertainty. Third, they are invalid under conditional…

非线性分箱散点图方法AI 解读

Binscatters are a powerful tool for empirical work in the social, behavioral, and biomedical sciences. Available tools rely on least squares estimation of the conditional mean. We introduce novel binscatter methods based on nonlinear, possibly nonsmooth M-estimation, covering generalized linear, robust, and quantile regression models. We provide theoretical results and practical tools, including optimal bin selection, confidence bands, and statistical tests regarding…

靶向深度生存对比：神经网络下处理特定生存收益的有效推断AI 解读

Neural survival models are increasingly asked to support counterfactual claims---how much a treatment would change survival in a population---rather than only prognostic risk scores. Answering such questions from observational data requires valid inference for treatment-specific survival contrasts under confounding and covariate-dependent censoring, targets for which standard deep survival estimators are biased and provide no honest uncertainty. We propose Targeted Deep…

高维稀疏谱精度矩阵的统计推断AI 解读

Statistical inference for the spectral precision matrix at a given frequency allows us to assess frequency-specific conditional relationships among the components of a stationary multivariate time series. Compared with classical analogues, inference in the spectral domain is more challenging due to the absence of closed-form asymptotic variance expressions for complex-valued estimators, the limited asymptotic theory in high-dimensional settings, and the presence of…

电力现货价格预测中的高维变量选择方法比较AI 解读

The paper considers the problem of variable selection for forecasting electricity spot prices. High-dimensional methods such as LASSO and Elastic Net are widely used for this purpose, and while they exhibit strong predictive performance, their tendency to select over-parameterized models raises questions about interpretability. We evaluate the performance of six variable selection procedures, includingthe recently proposed Boosting Multiple Testing (BMT) method, using an…

依赖条件下的 Mirror 与 knockoff+ 阈值AI 解读

Many multiple-testing procedures control the false discovery rate (FDR) by comparing the two tails of a null distribution. At a fixed cutoff, marginal symmetry makes this natural. Mirror and knockoff+ thresholds select the cutoff from the same data, so the standard finite-sample guarantee uses a stronger property: conditional on magnitudes and nonnull scores, null signs are independent fair coins. Failure can be severe without this property. Models satisfying positive…

校正优化偏差的熵型决定系数AI 解读

Classical likelihood-ratio tests and $Δ$AIC exacerbate the statistical significance crisis by scaling with sample size, often flagging negligible improvements as highly significant. While causal estimands like the average treatment effect (ATE) quantify practical magnitude, their reliance on the expectation operator ties them to the data's original coordinate scale. Furthermore, existing pseudo-$R^2$ metrics are inadequate: variance-based measures ignore higher-order…

网络模型中基于成对差分的分布回归方法AI 解读

I develop an estimation and inference framework for distribution regression in dyadic network settings with two-way fixed effects that vary across thresholds of the outcome. I show that identification of the structural parameters is achieved through binarization of the outcome at each threshold, and estimate the model by conditional maximum likelihood, which "differences out" the fixed effects and circumvents the incidental parameter problem. The estimator remains…

时变相关性推断的渐近一致错误发现率控制AI 解读

Inference for locally stationary time series is challenging because the associated hypotheses form an uncountable collection over a continuous time interval, making pointwise false discovery rate (FDR) control inadequate for simultaneous statistical guarantees. We introduce a novel asymptotically uniform false discovery rate (AuFDR), defined as the expectation of the $L_r$-norm of the false discovery proportion (FDP) process where $r$ is allowed to diverge, to quantify and…

高斯图模型下网络复杂度的估计AI 解读

The proportion of edges in a Gaussian graphical model (GGM) characterizes the complexity of its conditional dependence structure. Since edge presence corresponds to a nonzero entry of the precision matrix, estimation of this proportion can be formulated as a large-scale multiple testing problem. We propose an estimator that combines p-values from simultaneous edge-wise tests, conducted under false discovery rate control, with Storey's estimator of the proportion of true null…

示证型实验AI 解读

Adaptive experiments are used extensively in online platforms, healthcare and biotechnology, and the social sciences. Often, the primary goal is not to precisely estimate a treatment effect but to demonstrate that at least one candidate intervention yields a positive effect, for some subpopulation and on some measured outcome. We formalize this objective as testing the global null in a threshold bandit framework, and develop two inference procedures that are valid under…
