摘要:Motivated by applications in text mining and discrete distribution inference, we test for equality of probability mass functions of K groups of high-dimensional multinomial distributions. Special cases of this problem include global testing for topic models, two-sample testing in authorship attribution, and closeness testing for discrete distributions. A test statistic, which is shown to have an asymptotic standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis, is proposed. This parameter-free...

摘要:Mendelian randomization (MR) addresses causal questions using genetic variants as instrumental variables. We propose a new MR method, G-Estimation under No Interaction with Unmeasured Selection (GENIUS)-MAny Weak Invalid IV, which simultaneously addresses the 2 salient challenges in MR: many weak instruments and widespread horizontal pleiotropy. Similar to MR-GENIUS, we use heteroscedasticity of the exposure to identify the treatment effect. We derive influence functions of the treatment effec...

摘要:Many statistical models for networks overlook the fact that most real-world networks are formed through a growth process. To address this, we introduce the Preferential Attachment Plus Erdos-Renyi model, where we let a random network G be the union of a preferential attachment (PA) tree T and additional Erdos- Renyi (ER) random edges. The PA tree captures the underlying growth process of a network where vertices/edges are added sequentially, while the ER component can be regarded as noise. Giv...

摘要:We discuss the fundamental issue of identification in linear instrumental variable (IV) models with unknown IV validity. With the assumption of the 'sparsest rule', which is equivalent to the plurality rule but becomes operational in computation algorithms, we investigate and prove the advantages of non-convex penalized approaches over other IV estimators based on two-step selections, in terms of selection consistency and accommodation for individually weak IVs. Furthermore, we propose a surro...
