SAMoSSA: Multivariate Singular Spectrum Analysis with Stochastic Autoregressive Noise

Abdullah Alomar, Munther Dahleh, Sean Mann +1

The well-established practice of time series analysis involves estimating deterministic, non-stationary trend and seasonality components followed by learning the residual stochasti…

CausalSim: A Causal Framework for Unbiased Trace-Driven Simulation

Abdullah Alomar, Pouya Hamadanian, Arash Nasr-Esfahany +3

We present CausalSim, a causal framework for unbiased trace-driven simulation. Current trace-driven simulators assume that the interventions being simulated (e.g., a new algorithm)…

PerSim: Data-Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning with Heterogeneous Agents via Personalized Simulators

Anish Agarwal, Abdullah Alomar, Varkey Alumootil +4

We consider offline reinforcement learning (RL) with heterogeneous agents under severe data scarcity, i.e., we only observe a single historical trajectory for every agent under an…

On Multivariate Singular Spectrum Analysis: Tensor and Matrix Variants

Anish Agarwal, Abdullah Alomar, Devavrat Shah

We introduce and analyze two extensions of Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to the multivariate setting: a new variant of the well-known matrix-based method (mSSA), and a novel ten…

Synthetic Interventions

Anish Agarwal, Devavrat Shah, Dennis Shen

The synthetic controls (SC) methodology is a prominent tool for policy evaluation in panel data applications. Researchers commonly justify the SC framework with a low-rank matrix f…

Two Burning Questions on COVID-19: Did shutting down the economy help? Can we (partially) reopen the economy without risking the second wave?

Anish Agarwal, Abdullah Alomar, Arnab Sarker +3

As we reach the apex of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most pressing question facing us is: can we even partially reopen the economy without risking a second wave? We first need to und…

tspDB: Time Series Predict DB

Anish Agarwal, Abdullah Alomar, Devavrat Shah

A major bottleneck of the current Machine Learning (ML) workflow is the time consuming, error prone engineering required to get data from a datastore or a database (DB) to the poin…
