含因子结构的噪声高频观测下非凸高维时变系数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a novel high-dimensional time-varying coefficient estimator for noisy high-frequency observations with a factor structure. In high-frequency finance, we often observe that noises dominate the signal of underlying true processes and that covariates exhibit a factor structure due to their strong dependence. Thus, we cannot apply usual regression procedures to analyze high-frequency observations. To handle the noises, we first employ a smoothing method…

Sinkhorn 处理效应：一种因果最优传输度量AI 解读

We introduce the Sinkhorn treatment effect, an entropic optimal transport measure of divergence between counterfactual distributions. Unlike classical quantities such as the average treatment effect, this measure captures differences across entire distributions. We analyze this divergence as a statistical functional and show it can be written as a smooth transformation of counterfactual mean embeddings with an appropriate kernel. This characterization allows us to establish…

结果缺失下的多环境不变性学习AI 解读

Learning models that can handle distribution shifts is a key challenge in domain generalization. Invariance learning, an approach that focuses on identifying features invariant across environments, improves model generalization by capturing stable relationships, which may represent causal effects when the data distribution is encoded within a structural equation model (SEM) and satisfies modularity conditions. This has led to a growing body of work that builds on invariance…

面向单元格与个案异常值的稳健多元回归及推断AI 解读

Multivariate linear regression is a fundamental statistical task, but classical estimators such as ordinary least squares are highly sensitive to outliers. These may occur as casewise outliers that affect entire observations, or as outlying cells, that are individual contaminated entries in the predictor and/or response matrix. Moreover, modern datasets frequently contain missing values and are high-dimensional. To address these challenges we propose the cellwise…

用偏相关图LASSO识别网络枢纽AI 解读

Graphical LASSO (GLASSO) is a widely used method for estimating sparse precision matrices and learning undirected graphical models in high-dimensional settings. Because GLASSO penalizes entries of the precision matrix directly, however, it is not scale-invariant. Partial Correlation Graphical LASSO (PCGLASSO), introduced by Carter et al. (2024), addresses this limitation by penalizing partial correlations, which directly characterize conditional dependence. In this paper, we…

比例时间序列的 Beta-GAM 隐 Markov 模型AI 解读

We propose a hidden Markov model for univariate proportion time series taking values in (0,1), where regime switching captures latent structural changes and the emission distribution belongs to the Beta family. In each latent state, the Beta mean is linked to covariates through a generalized additive model (GAM) with spline-based smooth functions, while the Beta precision is state-specific, enabling flexible modeling of both nonlinear covariate effects and regime-dependent…

用于高维因果生存分析的马蹄先验森林AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian tree ensemble model to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects in censored survival data with high-dimensional covariates. Instead of imposing sparsity through the tree structure, we place a horseshoe prior directly on the step heights to achieve adaptive global-local shrinkage. This strategy allows flexible regularisation and reduces noise. We develop a reversible jump Gibbs sampler to accommodate the non-conjugate horseshoe prior within the tree…

RepFlow：用于因果效应估计的表示增强流匹配AI 解读

Estimating causal effects from observational data has become increasingly critical in diverse fields including healthcare, economics, and social policy. The fundamental challenge in causal inference arises from the missing counterfactuals and the selection bias. Existing methods are largely limited to point estimates and lack the capacity for distribution modeling. In this work, we propose RepFlow, a novel framework that formulates causal effect estimation as a joint…

动态藤Copula：检测与量化时变高阶交互AI 解读

Time-varying dependence is often modeled with dynamic correlations or Gaussian graphical models, but multivariate systems can change through tail behavior, asymmetry, or conditional structure even when correlations are nearly stable. We introduce Dynamic Vine Copulas (DVC), a temporal vine-copula framework for estimating and diagnosing sequence-wide non-Gaussian dependence. DVC fixes a chosen vine factorization for comparability; the framework applies to C-, D-, and R-vines,…

PRCD-MAP：在因果发现中学习对不完美先验的信任程度AI 解读

External priors of unknown reliability create a brittle trade-off in causal discovery: blind trust amplifies errors, blind rejection wastes signal. Real priors are also heterogeneously reliable -- physical laws are trustworthy, LLM-suggested edges are speculative -- yet existing methods either ignore priors or impose them through globally uniform trust. We propose PRCD-MAP, a soft prior-consumption layer that assigns per-edge trust to an imperfect prior and uses it to…

随机对照试验中平均处理效应的无偏回归调整估计AI 解读

This article introduces a leave-one-out regression adjustment (LOORA) for estimating average treatment effects in randomized controlled trials. In finite samples, LOORA removes the bias of conventional regression adjustment and yields exact variance formulas for regression-adjusted Horvitz-Thompson and difference-in-means estimators. Ridge regularization curbs the influence of high-leverage observations, improving stability and precision in small samples. In large samples,…

贝叶斯稀疏回归的谱塌缩 Gibbs 采样器AI 解读

Sparse regression based on global-local shrinkage priors are increasingly used for Bayesian modeling of modern high-dimensional data, but scaling up the Gibbs sampler for posterior inference remains a challenge. While much effort has gone into speeding up the high-dimensional coefficient update step, insufficient attention has been given to the potential poor mixing of the global scale parameter $τ$ and of the overall sampler. One proposed remedy has been to marginalize out…

高维函数型线性回归中的模型形式识别AI 解读

High-dimensional functional data are becoming increasingly common in fields such as environmental monitoring and neuroimaging. This paper studies high-dimensional functional linear regression models that relate a scalar response to ultra-high-dimensional functional predictors, where each predictor is treated as a random element in an infinite-dimensional functional space. To address the dual challenges of high-dimensionality and model interpretability, we propose MoFI-FLR, a…

空间依赖全局-局部收缩先验下的泊松回归区域选择与预测AI 解读

High-dimensional spatially correlated covariates are common in regression models encountered in environmental sciences and other fields. In such models, the regression coefficients often exhibit a sparse structure with spatial dependence. Although standard variable selection approaches can help detect the sparse structure, incorporating the dependence into variable selection helps recover spatially contiguous signals and improves prediction accuracy. Motivated by a…

双稀疏正则化模型的近端投影方法AI 解读

Regularization is often used in high-dimensional regression settings to generate a sparse model, which can save tremendous computing resources and identify predictors that are most strongly associated with the response. When the predictors can be represented by a Gaussian graphical model, the structure of the predictor graph can be exploited during regularization. Our proposed model exploits this underlying predictor graph structure by decomposing the estimated coefficient…

贝叶斯聚类加权高斯模型AI 解读

We introduce a novel class of Bayesian mixtures for normal linear regression models which incorporates a further Gaussian random component for the distribution of the predictor variables. The proposed cluster-weighted model aims to encompass potential heterogeneity in the distribution of the response variable as well as in the multivariate distribution of the covariates for detecting signals relevant to the underlying latent structure. Of particular interest are potential…

地中海海表温度热点的卷积过程识别AI 解读

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental determinant of global climate dynamics and economic activity. Reliable projections of future SST patterns depend critically on a rigorous characterization of the underlying spatial random field. In this study, we introduce a novel convolution-based covariance framework tailored to geostatistical domains constrained by physical barriers and influenced by vector-driven flows. By discretizing the continuous marine domain into a…

利用替代指标辅助缺失主要结局的高效跨总体分布与分位数处理效应估计AI 解读

We study target-population distributional and quantile treatment effects when a source study observes treatment and post-treatment surrogates for all source units but observes a long-run primary outcome only for a validation subset, while the target population contributes only baseline covariates. The target estimands are transported counterfactual distribution functions $ψ_a(y)=P(Y^a\le y\mid R=0)$, their quantiles $q_a(τ)$, and the quantile treatment effect $Δ(τ)=q_1(τ)-q_0(τ)$…

超越全局单调性的反事实可识别性：非单调三角结构因果模型AI 解读

Structural causal models provide a unified semantics for interventions and counterfactuals, but most identifiability results rely on restrictive assumptions like global monotonicity, which are often violated in embodied interaction, where the same exogenous perturbation can induce opposite responses under different contact contexts. We ask what structure still suffices once global monotonicity is dropped. We introduce non-monotone triangular structural causal models…

从稀缺且含噪的动态观测中进行贝叶斯超图推断AI 解读

Inferring higher-order interaction structure from observations of dynamics is a central challenge in complex systems, particularly when data are scarce, noisy, or concentrated in lower-dimensional regions of state space. We develop Bayes-THIS, a Bayesian extension of Taylor-based Hypergraph Inference using SINDy (THIS), which reconstructs hypergraph structure from time-series data by identifying sparse Taylor coefficients associated with pairwise and higher-order…

贝叶斯不确定性量化中后验与预测分布的摊销变分推断AI 解读

Bayesian predictive inference propagates parameter uncertainty to quantities of interest through the posterior-predictive distribution. In practice, this is typically performed using a two-stage procedure: first approximating the posterior distribution of model parameters, and then propagating posterior samples through the predictive model via Monte Carlo simulation. This sequential workflow can be computationally demanding, particularly for high-fidelity models such as…

弱信号与重尾：学习理论与极值分析的结合AI 解读

The masses of data now available have opened up the prospect of discovering weak signals using machine-learning algorithms, with a view to predictive or interpretation tasks. As this survey of recent results attempts to show, bringing multivariate extreme value theory and statistical learning theory together in a common, nonparametric and nonasymptotic framework makes it possible to design and analyze new methods for exploiting the scarce information located in distribution…

一般高维分类框架下不可微替代损失的推断AI 解读

Penalized empirical risk minimization with a surrogate loss function is often used to learn a high-dimensional linear decision rule in classification problems. Although much of the literature focus on the generalization error, there is a lack of inference procedures for identifying the driving factors of the estimated decision rule, especially when the surrogate loss is non-differentiable. We propose a kernel-smoothed decorrelated score to construct hypothesis tests and…

不确定性来源的贝叶斯推断：从置信度建模到稀疏估计AI 解读

We introduce a general framework that extends Bayesian inference by allowing the researcher to explicitly encode confidence in each source of uncertainty within the model. This mechanism provides a new handle for model design and regularisation control. Building on this framework, we develop a general approach for inducing sparsity in statistical models and illustrate its use in linear and logistic regression, as well as in Bayesian neural networks.
