采用非参数空间权重的空间动态面板模型半非参数估计AI 解读

We develop a semi-nonparametric framework for spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) models with two-way fixed effects when the spatial interaction structure is unknown beyond a distance measure. This is accomplished by modelling spatial weights in the outcome, lagged-outcome, and disturbance channels as unknown functions of underlying economic distances. These enter the SDPD system through matrix-function operators, providing a unified approach that accommodates both spatial…

具有潜在组结构的矩阵值网络自回归模型AI 解读

Matrix-valued time series data are frequently observed in a broad range of areas and have attracted great attention recently. In this work, we model network effects for high dimensional matrix-valued time series data in a matrix autoregression framework. To characterize the potential heterogeneity of the subjects and handle the high dimensionality simultaneously, we assume that each subject has a latent group label, which enables us to cluster the subject into the…

全尺度基图套索：大尺度非平稳空间数据建模AI 解读

We propose a new approach for the modeling large datasets of nonstationary spatial processes that combines a latent low rank process and a sparse covariance model. The low rank component coefficients are endowed with a flexible graphical Gaussian Markov random field model. The utilization of a low rank and compactly-supported covariance structure combines the full-scale approximation and the basis graphical lasso; we term this new approach the full-scale basis graphical…

刻画空间异质性暴露—滞后—响应关系的分布滞后非线性混合模型AI 解读

Environmental exposures, such as air pollution and extreme temperatures, have complex effects on human health. These effects are often characterized by non-linear exposure-lag-response relationships and delayed impacts over time. Accurately capturing these dynamics is crucial for informing public health interventions. The Distributed Lag Non-Linear Model (DLNM) is a flexible statistical framework for estimating such effects in epidemiological research. However, standard DLNM…

多层无锚点元回归：无共同对照的间接治疗比较AI 解读

Unanchored indirect treatment comparisons using single-arm studies or disconnected evidence are increasingly used in health technology assessment (HTA) when randomized evidence is unavailable. Existing methods, including matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) and simulated treatment comparison (STC), are generally limited to pairwise settings and typically estimate marginal effects in the comparator study population, which may differ from the decision-relevant…

部分观测干涉数据下的正则化协方差估计AI 解读

The Small BAseline Subset technique provides remote measurements of ground displacement with high spatial resolution, making it a key tool for monitoring geophysical processes in hazard-prone areas. An effective analysis of this type of data requires reliable estimation of their second-order structure, which is difficult to achieve because the measurements are systematically missing over relatively large portions of the investigated areas. We tackle the problem from a…

贝叶斯泊松随机化伽马张量分解及国际贸易流应用AI 解读

We study sparse semi-continuous tensor data with excess zeros, heavy right tails, and slice-specific dispersion. Such features arise naturally in monetary-valued multi-way data, such as international trade, where most exporter--importer--product--year cells are zero while positive values are continuous and highly variable. To model these data, we propose a Bayesian hierarchical tensor factorization model that places a low-rank CP structure on a latent Poisson rate tensor and…

时间序列的生成式预测分布AI 解读

We propose a flexible framework for modeling the predictive distributions of nonlinear, possibly multivariate time series. Our approach expresses a general predictive distribution in an appropriate generative representation that is based on a folklore result from measure theoretic probability. This representation provides a direct simulation-based approximation to the predictive distribution, enabling straightforward computation of forecasts for the conditional mean and…

收敛网络干扰下的处理效应估计AI 解读

Under network interference, a unit's observed outcome depends on the treatment assignment of its neighboring units in an exposure graph. Existing design-based asymptotic theory typically considers local interference by restricting neighborhood sizes in the exposure graph. Such methods do not apply to dense exposure graphs, so prior work has often adopted a superpopulation approach instead, imposing regularity through random-graph models. In this paper, we introduce a notion…

弱模型依赖的空间参数收缩与模型平均AI 解读

Economic decisions often depend on many noisy estimates of quantities such as neighborhood effects, school quality, and hospital performance. Shrinkage estimation can improve decisions by pooling information across related units, but geography, adjacency, and shared characteristics each define a different notion of relatedness, and each implies a different way of pooling. We treat the choice of relatedness as part of the estimation problem, using Stein's Unbiased Risk…

空间生产网络的部分识别AI 解读

Which regional exposure conclusions are identified when public data do not observe buyer-seller links across states? We study this question by treating the missing intermediate-input spatial kernel as an unknown coupling constrained by regional activity margins, support restrictions, and auxiliary shipment moments. For linear exposure statistics, the sharp identified set is computed by transportation linear programs. Applying the method to U.S. state-sector data, we find…

因果聚类：网络干扰下的群组实验设计AI 解读

This paper studies the design of cluster experiments to estimate the global treatment effect in the presence of network spillovers. We provide a framework to choose the clustering that minimizes the worst-case mean-squared error of the estimated global effect. We show that optimal clustering solves a novel penalized min-cut optimization problem computed via off-the-shelf semi-definite programming algorithms. Our analysis also characterizes simple conditions to choose between…

拉丁美洲主权压力雪崩与网络放大AI 解读

This paper studies sovereign stress avalanches and network amplification in Latin American credit markets using monthly J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified spreads for eleven sovereigns over 2007-2026. Country stress events are defined as positive log-spread innovations exceeding country-specific volatility thresholds, and regional avalanches count the number of stressed countries in each month. The empirical design combines finite-sample power-law diagnostics, threshold…

存在干扰的自我中心网络随机试验：污染敏感性分析AI 解读

Egocentric-Network Randomized Trials (ENRTs) are increasingly used to estimate causal effects under interference when measuring complete sociocentric network data is infeasible. ENRTs rely on egocentric network sampling, where a set of egos is first sampled, and each ego recruits a subset of its neighbors as alters. Treatments are then randomized across egos. While the observed ego-networks are disjoint by design, the underlying population network may contain edges…

机器学习分布型工具变量估计中的模型风险AI 解读

We study model risk in machine-learning estimation of the Distributional Instrumental Variable Local Average Treatment Effect (D-IV-LATE), the distributional IV effect for the subpopulation induced into treatment by the instrument. The contribution is not a new neural causal estimand. We implement a reduced-form orthogonal level-score DML estimator for the covariate-adjusted D-IV-LATE target and use it to ask how much the nuisance learner matters for distributional IV…

相互依赖的首次到达时间AI 解读

This paper studies interdependent durations as equilibrium outcomes of a synchronization game, a continuous-time stopping game in which the incentive to stop increases when other players stop. We allow the payoffs to vary with both common shocks and observed and unobserved agent characteristics. The common shocks follow a spectrally negative Lévy process, a semiparametric process that includes Brownian motion as a special case but may also have jumps. We show that…

交易量、波动率与收益联合动态的结构矩阵自回归模型AI 解读

This paper proposes a Structural Matrix Autoregressive (SMAR) model for the joint analysis of asset returns, realized volatility, and trading volume in a large-dimensional setting. This framework simultaneously captures dynamic spillovers across financial variables and cross-sectional dependence across assets while preserving a parsimonious parameterization relative to conventional vector autoregressive models. The model is estimated on daily data for the constituents of the…

具有潜在群组结构的多关系网络自回归模型AI 解读

Multi-relational networks among entities are frequently observed in the era of big data. Quantifying the effects of multiple networks have attracted significant research interest recently. In this work, we model multiple network effects through an autoregressive framework for tensor-valued time series. To characterize the potential heterogeneity of the networks and handle the high dimensionality of the time series data simultaneously, we assume a separate group structure for…

利用代理变量与工具变量处理 Perturb-seq 中的未观测混杂AI 解读

Emerging single-cell technologies that combine CRISPR-based genetic perturbations with single-cell RNA sequencing, such as Perturb-seq, offer unprecedented opportunities to uncover cause-and-effect relationships among genes. Nonetheless, Perturb-seq experiments are subject to unobserved factors that, if not properly handled, can severely bias the inferred causal relationships between genes. These latent factors may arise not only from intrinsic molecular features of the…

基于体素级BOLD信号的区域功能连接混合模型估计AI 解读

Resting-state brain functional connectivity quantifies the synchrony between activity patterns of different brain regions. In functional magnetic resonance imaging, each region comprises a set of spatially contiguous voxels at which blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals are acquired. The ubiquitous Correlation of Averages (CA) estimator, and other similar metrics, are computed from spatially aggregated signals within each region, and remain the quantifications of…

成分数据中的坍缩模式学习：贝叶斯异质相对偏移方法AI 解读

Relative-shift regression provides a principled framework for modeling compositional covariates by quantifying how the response changes when mass is reallocated from one component to another. Yet many emerging compositional data problems extend beyond this classical setting, involving high-dimensional predictors and regression effects that vary across latent subpopulations. This complexity poses a dual challenge unmet by existing methods: recovering latent cluster structure…

MediEncoder：高维因果中介分析的非线性表示学习AI 解读

Causal mediation analysis decomposes a treatment effect into indirect pathways through mediators and direct pathways not operating through them. Modern biomedical studies often involve high-dimensional covariates and mediators that are noisy proxies for lower-dimensional latent biological processes. Existing methods typically rely on sparsity, linear factor models, or ignore the connection among variables in the learned representations, which can be restrictive when…

二元结果中的异质同伴效应AI 解读

I introduce heterogeneity into the analysis of peer effects arising from conformity by allowing peer-effect parameters to vary across agents' actions. Using a structural model based on a simultaneous network game with incomplete information, I derive conditions that guarantee the uniqueness of the equilibrium and the identification of heterogeneous peer-effect parameters. Applying the model to data on smoking and alcohol consumption among secondary school students, and…

组成数据的 α 回归：涵盖时间、空间及组成型解释变量的统一框架AI 解读

We revisit the $α$--regression framework for compositional data. We formulate $α$--regression as a non--linear least squares problem, study its asymptotic properties, and provide efficient estimation via the Levenberg--Marquardt algorithm. We then propose a permutation--based hypothesis testing procedure, derive marginal effects for interpretation, and provide a visual inspection of the effect of each predictor. We further discuss robustified versions, the inclusion of…
