A Test for Differential Ascertainment in Case-Control Studies with Application to Child Maltreatment

Matteo Sordello, Dylan S. Small

We propose a method to test for the presence of differential ascertainment in case-control studies, when data are collected by multiple sources. We show that, when differential asc…

A general approach to detect gene (G)-environment (E) additive interaction leveraging G-E independence in case-control studies

Eric J. Tchetgen Tchetgen, Xu Shi, Tamar Sofer +1

It is increasingly of interest in statistical genetics to test for the presence of a mechanistic interaction between genetic (G) and environmental (E) risk factors by testing for t…

Multiply Robust Causal Inference with Double Negative Control Adjustment for Categorical Unmeasured Confounding

Xu Shi, Wang Miao, Jennifer C. Nelson +1

Unmeasured confounding is a threat to causal inference in observational studies. In recent years, use of negative controls to mitigate unmeasured confounding has gained increasing…

A Sparse PCA Approach to Clustering

T. Tony Cai, Linjun Zhang

We discuss a clustering method for Gaussian mixture model based on the sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) method and compare it with the IF-PCA method. We also discuss the…

Covariate Balancing Propensity Score by Tailored Loss Functions

Qingyuan Zhao

In observational studies, propensity scores are commonly estimated by maxi- mum likelihood but may fail to balance high-dimensional pre-treatment covariates even after specificatio…

High-Dimensional Gaussian Copula Regression: Adaptive Estimation and Statistical Inference

T. Tony Cai, Linjun Zhang

We develop adaptive estimation and inference methods for high-dimensional Gaussian copula regression that achieve the same performance without the knowledge of the marginal transfo…

Instrumental Variables Estimation with Some Invalid Instruments and its Application to Mendelian Randomization

Hyunseung Kang, Anru Zhang, T. Tony Cai +1

Instrumental variables have been widely used for estimating the causal effect between exposure and outcome. Conventional estimation methods require complete knowledge about all the…
