摘要:This article extensively reviews applications, extensions, and models derived from the Bayesian ideal point estimator. We focus our attention on studies conducted in the United States as well as Latin America. First, we provide a detailed description of the Bayesian ideal point estimator. Next, we propose a new taxonomy to synthesize and frame technical developments and applications associated with the estimator in the context of the United States Congress and Latin American governing bodies. ...

摘要:In this article, we establish the mathematical foundations for modeling the randomness of shapes and conducting statistical inference on shapes using the smooth Euler characteristic transform. Based on these foundations, we propose two Chi-squared statistic-based algorithms for testing hypotheses on random shapes. Simulation studies are presented to validate our mathematical derivations and to compare our algorithms with state-of-the-art methods to demonstrate the utility of our proposed frame...

摘要:Suppose we observe a random vector X from some distribution in a known family with unknown parameters. We ask the following question: when is it possible to split X into two pieces f(X) and g(X) such that neither part is sufficient to reconstruct X by itself, but both together can recover X fully, and their joint distribution is tractable? One common solution to this problem when multiple samples of X are observed is data splitting, but Rasines and Young offers an alternative approach that use...

摘要:Interference occurs when a unit's treatment (or exposure) affects another unit's outcome. In some settings, units may be grouped into clusters such that it is reasonable to assume that interference, if present, only occurs between individuals in the same cluster, that is, there is clustered interference. Various causal estimands have been proposed to quantify treatment effects under clustered interference from observational data, but these estimands either entail treatment policies lacking rea...

摘要:We propose a new matrix factor model, named RaDFaM, which is strictly derived from the general rank decomposition and assumes a high-dimensional vector factor model structure for each basis vector. RaDFaM contributes a novel class of low-rank latent structures that trade off between signal intensity and dimension reduction from a tensor subspace perspective. Based on the intrinsic separable covariance structure of RaDFaM, for a collection of matrix-valued observations, we derive a new class of...

摘要:Calibration refers to the statistical estimation of unknown model parameters in computer experiments, such that computer experiments can match underlying physical systems. This work develops a new calibration method for imperfect computer models, Sobolev calibration, which can rule out calibration parameters that generate overfitting calibrated functions. We prove that the Sobolev calibration enjoys desired theoretical properties including fast convergence rate, asymptotic normality and semipa...
