摘要:What is the premium on house price for a particular school district? To estimate this in New York City we use a novel implementation of a geographic regression discontinuity design (GeoRDD) built from Gaussian processes regression (kriging) to model spatial structure. With a GeoRDD, we specifically examine price differences along borders between treatment and control school districts. GeoRDDs extend RDDs to multivariate settings; location is the forcing variable and the border between school d...

摘要:This article focuses on the relationship between a measure of creativity and the human brain network for subjects in a brain connectome dataset obtained using a diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging procedure. We identify brain regions and interconnections that have a significant effect on creativity. Brain networks are often expressed in terms of symmetric adjacency matrices, with row and column indices of the matrix representing the regions of interest (ROI), and a cell entry signify...

摘要:We introduce Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) for log-linear models including multinomial logistic regression and count regression with zero-inflation and overdispersion. BART has been applied to nonparametric mean regression and binary classification problems in a range of settings. However, existing applications of BART have been mostly limited to models for Gaussian data, either observed or latent. This is primarily because efficient MCMC algorithms are available for Gaussian likel...

摘要:Investigating the similarity and changes in brain networks under different mental conditions has become increasingly important in neuroscience research. A standard separate estimation strategy fails to pool information across networks and hence has reduced estimation accuracy and power to detect between-network differences. Motivated by an fMRI Stroop task experiment that involves multiple related tasks, we develop an integrative Bayesian approach for jointly modeling multiple brain networks t...

摘要:Clustered data are ubiquitous in a variety of scientific fields. In this article, we propose a flexible and interpretable modeling approach, called grouped heterogeneous mixture modeling, for clustered data, which models cluster-wise conditional distributions by mixtures of latent conditional distributions common to all the clusters. In the model, we assume that clusters are divided into a finite number of groups and mixing proportions are the same within the same group. We provide a simple ge...

摘要:Genetics plays a role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of blindness in the elderly. There is a need for powerful methods for carrying out region-based association tests between a dichotomous trait like AMD and genetic variants on family data. Here, we apply our new generalized functional linear mixed models (GFLMM) developed to test for gene-based association in a set of AMD families. Using common and rare variants, we observe significant association with two known AMD...

摘要:In many social science experiments, subjects often interact with each other and as a result one unit's treatment influences the outcome of another unit. Over the last decade, a significant progress has been made toward causal inference in the presence of such interference between units. Researchers have shown that the two-stage randomization of treatment assignment enables the identification of average direct and spillover effects. However, much of the literature has assumed perfect compliance...
