Beyond Tweedie's Formula: Conditional Score Modeling for Empirical Bayes Inference

Shonosuke Sugasawa, Zhigen Zhao

We propose conditional f-modeling (Cf-modeling), a framework for empirical Bayes inference with covariates. A central identity shows that the conditional marginal score function de…

Finite Mixtures of Generalized Estimating Equations for Clustering Multivariate Correlated Outcomes

Shonosuke Sugasawa, Francis K. C. Hui

Multivariate correlated outcomes occur across disciplines, including ecology, social sciences, and psychometrics. This paper focuses on clustering these outcomes across observation…

Log-regularly varying scale mixture of asymmetric Laplaces for robust Bayesian quantile regression

Dongu Han, Genya Kobayashi, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Bayesian quantile regression based on the asymmetric Laplace (AL) distribution can be sensitive to extreme observations because of its exponentially decaying tails. We propose a ro…

Information Gap and Feasibility-Aware Inference in Binomial Logistic Mixtures

Yuta Hayashida, Shonosuke Sugasawa

This paper studies the information gap between mixture detection and label recovery in binomial logistic mixtures. Standard likelihood-based criteria such as the Bayesian informati…

Causal Small Area Estimation with Survey-only Covariates

Tsubasa Ito, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Area-specific causal inference is important in many policy and survey applications, where the goal is to evaluate treatment effects for small geographic or demographic domains. Exi…

Efficient Bayesian Inference in the Cox Model via Rank-Ordered Likelihood

Tomohiro Ohigashi, Shunichiro Orihara, Shonosuke Sugasawa

In Bayesian inference for the Cox proportional hazards model, modeling the baseline hazard function is challenging. Recently, direct Bayesian inference using the partial likelihood…

Dynamic Bayesian regression quantile synthesis for forecasting outlook-at-risk

Genya Kobayashi, Shonosuke Sugasawa, Yuta Yamauchi +1

This paper proposes dynamic Bayesian regression quantile synthesis (DRQS), a novel method for quantile forecasting within the Bayesian predictive synthesis (BPS) framework designed…

Direct Bayesian Additive Regression Trees for Conditional Average Treatment Effects in Regression Discontinuity Designs

Daisuke Kondo, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Regression discontinuity designs (RDD) are widely used for causal inference. In many empirical applications, treatment effects vary substantially with covariates, and ignoring such…

Bayesian Estimation of Variance under Fine Stratification via Mean-Variance Smoothing

Sepideh Mosaferi, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Fine stratification survey is useful in many applications as its point estimator is unbiased, but the variance estimator under the design cannot be easily obtained, particularly wh…

Contrastive Bayesian Inference for Unnormalized Models

Naruki Sonobe, Shonosuke Sugasawa, Daichi Mochihashi +1

Unnormalized (or energy-based) models provide a flexible framework for capturing the characteristics of data with complex dependency structures. However, the application of standar…

Tree-Embedded Bayesian Factor Models for Multidimensional Categorical Distributions

Naoki Awaya, Keisuke Sasaki, Genya Kobayashi +1

Analyzing data collected from multiple observational units to estimate common and heterogeneous structures through a hierarchical model is a central task in Bayesian inference, and…

Difference-in-Differences under Local Dependence on Networks

Akihiro Sato, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Estimating causal effects under interference, where the stable unit treatment value assumption is violated, is critical in fields such as regional and public economics. Much of the…

The Covariate-Assisted Bayesian Intransitive Bradley-Terry Model via Combinatorial Hodge Theory

Hisaya Okahara, Tomoyuki Nakagawa, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Pairwise comparison data are widely used to recover latent rankings, yet the models in dominant use assume stochastic transitivity. When preferences are in fact intransitive, a sin…

Repulsive g-Priors for Regression Mixtures

Yuta Hayashida, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Mixture regression models are powerful tools for capturing heterogeneous covariate-response relationships, yet classical finite mixtures and Bayesian nonparametric alternatives oft…

Propensity Patchwork Kriging for Scalable Inference on Heterogeneous Treatment Effects

Hajime Ogawa, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Gaussian process-based models are attractive for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE), but their computational cost limits scalability in causal inference settings. In…

Robust Global Fr'echet Regression via Weight Regularization

Hao Li, Shonosuke Sugasawa, Shota Katayama

The Fréchet regression is a useful method for modeling random objects in a general metric space given Euclidean covariates. However, the conventional approach could be sensitive to…

On Misspecified Error Distributions in Bayesian Functional Clustering: Consequences and Remedies

Fumiya Iwashige, Tomoya Wakayama, Shonosuke Sugasawa +1

Nonparametric Bayesian approaches provide a flexible framework for clustering without pre-specifying the number of groups, yet they are well known to overestimate the number of clu…

Efficient Prior Sensitivity and Tipping-point Analysis for Medical Research: Revisiting Sampling Importance Resampling

Tomohiro Ohigashi, Shonosuke Sugasawa

Bayesian methods have received increasing attention in medical research, where sensitivity analysis of prior distributions is essential. Such analyses typically require the evaluat…

Noise-Robust Phase Connectivity Estimation via Bayesian Circular Functional Models

Shonosuke Sugasawa, Takeru Matsuda, Tomoyuki Nagakawa

The phase locking value (PLV) is a widely used measure to detect phase connectivity. Main drawbacks of the standard PLV are it can be sensitive to noisy observations and does not p…
