估计异质性处理效应的混合元学习器AI 解读

Estimating conditional average treatment effects (CATE) from observational data involves modeling decisions that differ from supervised learning, particularly concerning how to regularize model complexity. Previous approaches can be grouped into two primary "meta-learner" paradigms that impose distinct inductive biases. Indirect meta-learners first fit and regularize separate potential outcome (PO) models and then estimate CATE by taking their difference, whereas direct…

广义线性模型中的 Lasso 自助法AI 解读

Generalized linear model or GLM constitutes a large class of models and essentially extends the ordinary linear regression by connecting the mean of the response variable with the covariate through appropriate link functions. On the other hand, Lasso is a popular and easy-to-implement penalization method in regression when not all covariates are relevant. However, the asymptotic distributional properties the Lasso estimator in GLM is still unknown. In this paper, we show…

基于熵正则化的扩展平均场变分推断：理论与计算AI 解读

Variational inference (VI) has emerged as a popular method for approximate inference for high-dimensional Bayesian models. In this paper, we propose a novel VI method that extends the naive mean field via entropic regularization, referred to as $Ξ$-variational inference ($Ξ$-VI). $Ξ$-VI has a close connection to the entropic optimal transport problem and benefits from the computationally efficient Sinkhorn algorithm. We show that $Ξ$-variational posteriors effectively…

信息几何驱动的高斯图模型序贯增长AI 解读

We investigate the properties of a class of regularisation-free approaches for Gaussian graphical inference based on the information-geometry-driven sequential growth of initially edgeless graphs. Relating the growth of a graph to a coordinate descent process, we characterise the fully-corrective descents corresponding to information-optimal growths, and propose numerically efficient strategies for their approximation. We demonstrate the ability of the proposed procedures to…

岭回归中（共轭）梯度估计量的正则化路径比较AI 解读

We consider standard gradient descent, gradient flow and conjugate gradients as iterative algorithms for minimising a penalised ridge criterion in linear regression. While it is well known that conjugate gradients exhibit fast numerical convergence, the statistical properties of their iterates are more difficult to assess due to inherent non-linearities and dependencies. On the other hand, standard gradient flow is a linear method with well-known regularising properties when…

面向协变量偏移下函数型数据的正则化学习AI 解读

This paper investigates a general regularization framework for unsupervised domain adaptation in vector-valued regression under the covariate shift assumption, utilizing vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (vRKHS). Covariate shift occurs when the input distributions of the training and test data differ, introducing significant challenges for reliable learning. By restricting the hypothesis space, we develop a practical operator learning algorithm capable of…

通过函数型线性结构方程模型推断生物医学影像的因果效应AI 解读

Understanding the causal effects of organ-specific features from medical imaging on clinical outcomes is essential for biomedical research and patient care. We propose a novel Functional Linear Structural Equation Model (FLSEM) to capture the relationships among clinical outcomes, functional imaging exposures, and scalar covariates like genetics, sex, and age. Traditional methods struggle with the infinite-dimensional nature of exposures and complex covariates. Our FLSEM…

面向相对数据的稳健函数型主成分分析AI 解读

This paper introduces a robust approach to functional principal component analysis (FPCA) for relative data, particularly density functions. While recent papers have studied density data within the Bayes space framework, there has been limited focus on developing robust methods to effectively handle anomalous observations and large noise. To address this, we extend the Mahalanobis distance concept to Bayes spaces, proposing its regularized version that accounts for the…

风险下的归一化分数阶熵决策模型AI 解读

Constructing efficient portfolios requires balancing expected returns with risk through optimal stock selection, while accounting for investor preferences. In a recent work by Paul and Kundu (2026), the fractional-order entropy due to Ubriaco was introduced as an uncertainty measure to capture varying investor attitudes toward risk. Building on this foundation, we introduce a novel normalized fractional order entropy aligned with investors' risk preferences that combines…

协作图套索的多组学网络重建AI 解读

Motivation: In recent years, the availability of multi-omics data has increased substantially. Multi-omics data integration methods mainly aim to leverage different molecular layers to gain a complete molecular description of biological processes. An attractive integration approach is the reconstruction of multi-omics networks. However, the development of effective multi-omics network reconstruction strategies lags behind. Results: In this study, we introduce collaborative…

基于惩罚已实现方差的高维二次变差估计AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a penalized realized variance (PRV) estimator of the quadratic variation (QV) of a high-dimensional continuous Itô semimartingale. We adapt the principle idea of regularization from linear regression to covariance estimation in a continuous-time high-frequency setting. We show that under a nuclear norm penalization, the PRV is computed by soft-thresholding the eigenvalues of realized variance (RV). It therefore encourages sparsity of singular values…

高维时变模型的广义自适应联合学习框架AI 解读

In modern biomedical and econometric studies, longitudinal processes are often characterized by complex time-varying associations and abrupt regime shifts that are shared across correlated outcomes. Standard functional data analysis (FDA) methods, which prioritize smoothness, often fail to capture these dynamic structural features, particularly in high-dimensional settings. This article introduces Adaptive Joint Learning (AJL), a hierarchical regularization framework…

因子分析中的最大软惩罚似然估计AI 解读

Estimation in exploratory factor analysis often yields estimates on the boundary of the parameter space. Such occurrences, known as Heywood cases, are characterised by non-positive variance estimates and can cause issues in numerical optimisation procedures or convergence failures, which, in turn, can lead to misleading inferences, particularly regarding factor scores and model selection. We derive sufficient conditions on the model and a penalty to the log-likelihood…

BASTION：趋势与季节性分解的贝叶斯框架AI 解读

We introduce BASTION (Bayesian Adaptive Seasonality and Trend DecompositION), a flexible Bayesian framework for decomposing time series into trend and multiple seasonality components. We cast the decomposition as a penalized nonparametric regression and establish formal conditions under which the trend and seasonal components are uniquely identifiable, an issue only treated informally in the existing literature. BASTION offers three key advantages over existing decomposition…

ARMAr-LASSO：缓解预测变量序列相关对 LASSO 的影响AI 解读

We explore estimation and forecast accuracy for sparse linear models, focusing on scenarios where both predictors and errors carry serial correlations. We establish a clear link between predictor serial correlation and the performance of the LASSO, showing that even orthogonal or weakly correlated stationary AR processes can lead to significant spurious correlations due to their serial correlations. To address this challenge, we propose a novel approach named ARMAr-LASSO…

基于核方法的非参数形状约束检验AI 解读

We propose a kernel-based nonparametric framework for mean-variance optimization that enables inference on economically motivated shape constraints in finance, including positivity, monotonicity, and convexity. Many central hypotheses in financial econometrics are naturally expressed as shape relations on latent functions (e.g., term premia, CAPM relations, and the pricing kernel), yet enforcing such constraints during estimation can mask economically meaningful violations;…

稀疏置换线性回归的有限样本推断AI 解读

We study a linear observation model with an unknown permutation called \textit{permuted/shuffled linear regression}, where responses and covariates are mismatched and the permutation forms a discrete, factorial-size parameter. The permutation is a key component of the data-generating process, yet its statistical investigation remains challenging due to its discrete nature. We develop a general statistical inference framework on the permutation and regression coefficients.…

面向生物样本库规模高维组学数据的单变量引导稀疏回归AI 解读

We present a scalable framework for computing polygenic risk scores (PRS) in high-dimensional genomic settings using the recently introduced Univariate-Guided Sparse Regression (uniLasso). UniLasso is a two-stage penalized regression procedure that leverages univariate coefficients and magnitudes to stabilize feature selection and enhance interpretability. Building on its theoretical and empirical advantages, we adapt uniLasso for application to the UK Biobank, a…

多研究数据的因子分析高斯图模型估计AI 解读

Network models are powerful tools for gaining new insights from complex biological data. Most lines of investigation in biology involve comparing datasets in the setting where the same predictors are measured across multiple studies or conditions (multi-study data). Consequently, the development of statistical tools for network modeling of multi-study data is a highly active area of research. Multi-study factor analysis (MSFA) is a method for estimation of latent variables…

高维误设线性模型中岭回归广义交叉验证的一致相合性AI 解读

This study examines generalized cross-validation for the tuning parameter selection for ridge regression in high-dimensional misspecified linear models. The set of candidates for the tuning parameter includes not only positive values but also zero and negative values. We demonstrate that if the second moment of the specification error converges to zero, generalized cross-validation is still a uniformly consistent estimator of the out-of-sample prediction risk. This implies…

基于倾向得分、目标政策与处理成本的插值随机干预AI 解读

We introduce two families of stochastic interventions with discrete treatments that connect causal modeling to cost-sensitive decision making. The interventions arise from a cost-penalized information projection of the independent product of the organic propensity scores and a reference policy, yielding closed-form Boltzmann-Gibbs couplings. The induced marginals define modified stochastic policies that interpolate smoothly, via a tilt parameter, from the organic law or from…

岭回归的无分布置信椭球与PAC界AI 解读

Linearly parametrized models are widely used in control and signal processing, with the least-squares (LS) estimate being the archetypical solution. When the input is insufficiently exciting, the LS problem may be unsolvable or numerically unstable. This issue can be resolved through regularization, typically with ridge regression. Although regularized estimators reduce the variance error, it remains important to quantify their estimation uncertainty. A possible approach for…

高维 Copula 的谱动态与正则化AI 解读

We introduce a novel model for time-varying, asymmetric, tail-dependent copulas in high dimensions that incorporates both spectral dynamics and regularization. The dynamics of the dependence matrix' eigenvalues are modeled in a score-driven way, while biases in the unconditional eigenvalue spectrum are resolved by non-linear shrinkage. The dynamic parameterization of the copula dependence matrix ensures that it satisfies the appropriate restrictions at all times and for any…

无岭最小二乘插值估计量的分布AI 解读

The Ridgeless minimum $\ell_2$-norm interpolator in overparametrized linear regression has attracted considerable attention in recent years in both machine learning and statistics communities. While it seems to defy conventional wisdom that overfitting leads to poor prediction, recent theoretical research on its $\ell_2$-type risks reveals that its norm minimizing property induces an `implicit regularization' that helps prediction in spite of interpolation. This paper takes…
