  摘要：Parameters of differential equations are essential to characterize intrinsic behaviours of dynamic systems. Numerous methods for estimating parameters in dynamic systems are computationally and/or statistically inadequate, especially for complex systems with general-order differential operators, such as motion dynamics. This article presents Green's matching, a computationally tractable and statistically efficient two-step method, which only needs to approximate trajectories in dynamic systems...

  摘要：We propose a novel use of a broadcasting operation, which distributes univariate functions to all entries of the tensor covariate, to model the nonlinearity in tensor regression nonparametrically. A penalized estimation and the corresponding algorithm are proposed. Our theoretical investigation, which allows the dimensions of the tensor covariate to diverge, indicates that the proposed estimation yields a desirable convergence rate. We also provide a minimax lower bound, which characterizes th...

  摘要：Mediation analysis aims to assess if, and how, a certain exposure influences an outcome of interest through intermediate variables. This problem has recently gained a surge of attention due to the tremendous need for such analyses in scientific fields. Testing for the mediation effect (ME) is greatly challenged by the fact that the underlying null hypothesis (i.e. the absence of MEs) is composite. Most existing mediation tests are overly conservative and thus underpowered. To overcome this sig...
• Rank-transformed subsampling: inference for multiple data splitting and exchangeable p-values AI翻译

  摘要：Many testing problems are readily amenable to randomized tests, such as those employing data splitting. However, despite their usefulness in principle, randomized tests have obvious drawbacks. Firstly, two analyses of the same dataset may lead to different results. Secondly, the test typically loses power because it does not fully utilize the entire sample. As a remedy to these drawbacks, we study how to combine the test statistics or p-values resulting from multiple random realizations, such ...

• Proposers of the vote of thanks to Crane and Xu and contribution to the Discussion of 'Root and community inference on the latent growth process of a network' AI翻译

  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. Give...
