On Efficiency of the Plug-in Principle for Estimating Smooth Integrated Functionals of a Nonincreasing Density

Rajarshi Mukherjee, Bodhisattva Sen

We consider the problem of estimating smooth integrated functionals of a monotone nonincreasing density on using the nonparametric maximum likelihood based plug-in…

Testing Degree Corrections in Stochastic Block Models

Rajarshi Mukherjee, Subhabrata Sen

We study sharp detection thresholds for degree corrections in Stochastic Block Models in the context of a goodness of fit problem, and explore the effect of the unknown community a…

Adaptive Estimation of Nonparametric Functionals

Lin Liu, Rajarshi Mukherjee, James Robins +1

We provide general adaptive upper bounds for estimating nonparametric functionals based on second order U-statistics arising from finite dimensional approximation of the infinite d…

The Differential Geometry of Homogeneity Spaces Across Effect Scales

Peng Ding, Tyler J. VanderWeele

If an effect measure is more homogeneous than others, then its value is more likely to be stable across different subgroups or subpopulations. Therefore, it is of great importance…

On Varieties of Doubly Robust Estimators Under Missingness Not at Random With a Shadow Variable

Wang Miao, Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen

Suppose we are interested in the mean of an outcome variable missing not at random. Suppose however that one has available a fully observed shadow variable, which is associated wit…

Lepski's Method and Adaptive Estimation of Nonlinear Integral Functionals of Density

Rajarshi Mukherjee, Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen, James Robins

We study the adaptive minimax estimation of non-linear integral functionals of a density and extend the results obtained for linear and quadratic functionals to general functionals…

Sensitivity Analysis Without Assumptions

Peng Ding, Tyler VanderWeele

Unmeasured confounding may undermine the validity of causal inference with observational studies. Sensitivity analysis provides an attractive way to partially circumvent this issue…

Non-Local Priors for High-Dimensional Estimation

David Rossell, Donatello Telesca

Simultaneously achieving parsimony and good predictive power in high dimensions is a main challenge in statistics. Non-local priors (NLPs) possess appealing properties for high-dim…

Testing for nodal dependence in relational data matrices

Alexander Volfovsky, Peter D. Hoff

Relational data are often represented as a square matrix, the entries of which record the relationships between pairs of objects. Many statistical methods for the analysis of such…

Asymptotic theory for the semiparametric accelerated failure time model with missing data

Bin Nan, John D. Kalbfleisch, Menggang Yu

We consider a class of doubly weighted rank-based estimating methods for the transformation (or accelerated failure time) model with missing data as arise, for example, in case-coh…

Minimal sufficient causation and directed acyclic graphs

Tyler J. VanderWeele, James M. Robins

Notions of minimal sufficient causation are incorporated within the directed acyclic graph causal framework. Doing so allows for the graphical representation of sufficient causes a…

Higher order influence functions and minimax estimation of nonlinear functionals

James Robins, Lingling Li, Eric Tchetgen +1

We present a theory of point and interval estimation for nonlinear functionals in parametric, semi-, and non-parametric models based on higher order influence functions (Robins (20…

Causal inference in longitudinal studies with history-restricted marginal structural models

Romain Neugebauer, Mark J. van der Laan, Marshall M. Joffe +1

A new class of Marginal Structural Models (MSMs), History-Restricted MSMs (HRMSMs), was recently introduced for longitudinal data for the purpose of defining causal parameters whic…
