摘要:We derive confidence intervals (CIs) and confidence sequences (CSs) for the classical problem of estimating a bounded mean. Our approach generalizes and improves on the celebrated Chernoff method, yielding the best closed-form empirical-Bernstein CSs and CIs (converging exactly to the oracle Bernstein width) as well as non-closed-form betting CSs and CIs. Our method combines new composite nonnegative (super) martingales with Ville's maximal inequality, with strong connections to testing by bet...

摘要:This paper introduces a novel framework called Mode-wise Principal Subspace Pursuit (MOP-UP) to extract hidden variations in both the row and column dimensions for matrix data. To enhance the understanding of the framework, we introduce a class of matrix-variate spiked covariance models that serve as inspiration for the development of the MOP-UP algorithm. The MOP-UP algorithm consists of two steps: Average Subspace Capture (ASC) and Alternating Projection. These steps are specifically designe...

摘要:In this article, we study nonparametric inference for a covariate-adjusted regression function. This parameter captures the average association between a continuous exposure and an outcome after adjusting for other covariates. Under certain causal conditions, it also corresponds to the average outcome had all units been assigned to a specific exposure level, known as the causal dose-response curve. We propose a debiased local linear estimator of the covariate-adjusted regression function and d...

摘要:While fiducial inference was widely considered a big blunder by R.A. Fisher, the goal he initially set-'inferring the uncertainty of model parameters on the basis of observations'-has been continually pursued by many statisticians. To this end, we develop a new statistical inference method called extended Fiducial inference (EFI). The new method achieves the goal of fiducial inference by leveraging advanced statistical computing techniques while remaining scalable for big data. Extended Fiduci...
