摘要:Modified treatment policies are a widely applicable class of interventions useful for studying the causal effects of continuous exposures. Approaches to evaluating their causal effects assume no interference, meaning that such effects cannot be learned from data in settings where the exposure of one unit affects the outcomes of others, as is common in spatial or network data. We introduce a new class of intervention-induced modified treatment policies-which we show identify such causal effects...

摘要:We study general coordinate-wise Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes (such as Metropolis-within-Gibbs samplers), which are commonly used to fit Bayesian non-conjugate hierarchical models. We relate their convergence properties to the ones of the corresponding (potentially not implementable) random scan Gibbs sampler through the notion of conditional conductance. This allows us to study the performances of popular Metropolis-within-Gibbs schemes for non-conjugate hierarchical models, in high-dimen...

摘要:Integrating heterogeneous datasets across different measurement platforms poses fundamental challenges for statistical inference. An important example is cell type deconvolution, where cell type proportions in bulk RNA-seq data are estimated using reference single-cell data from different sources, leading to platform-specific scaling effects, measurement noise, and biological heterogeneity. Existing methods often treat estimated proportions as observed in downstream analyses, potentially compr...

摘要:We consider the problem of performing parameter and state inference in a state-space model (SSM) parametrized by a static parameter theta. A popular idea to address this problem consists of incorporating theta in the state of the system and allowing its time evolution, modelled as a Markov chain (theta t)t >= 1. This proxy model defines a so-called self-organizing SSM (SO-SSM) to which one may apply standard particle filters. However, the practical implementation of this idea in a theoreticall...

摘要:Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning technique designed to preserve data privacy and security, and it has gained significant importance due to its broad range of applications. This paper addresses the problem of optimal functional mean estimation from discretely sampled data in a federated setting. We consider a heterogeneous framework where the number of individuals, measurements per individual, and privacy parameters vary across one or more servers, under both common and...

摘要:We provide a novel characterization of augmented balancing weights, also known as automatic debiased machine learning. These popular doubly robust estimators combine outcome modelling with balancing weights-weights that achieve covariate balance directly instead of estimating and inverting the propensity score. When the outcome and weighting models are both linear in some (possibly infinite) basis, we show that the augmented estimator is equivalent to a single linear model with coefficients th...
