Using Multiple Outcomes to Adjust Standard Errors for Spatial Correlation
Stefano DellaVigna, Guido Imbens, Woojin Kim +1
Empirical research in economics often examines the behavior of agents located in a geographic space. In such cases, statistical inference is complicated by the interdependence of e…
Randomization Inference: Theory and Applications
David M. Ritzwoller, Joseph P. Romano, Azeem M. Shaikh
We review approaches to statistical inference based on randomization. Permutation tests are treated as an important special case. Under a certain group invariance property, referre…
Order-Explicit Linearization of High-Dimensional -Statistics
David M. Ritzwoller, Vasilis Syrgkanis
We give an order-explicit large deviation bound for the difference between a high-dimensional -statistic and its Hájek projection. In particular, we show that any -statistic…
Reproducible Aggregation of Sample-Split Statistics
David M. Ritzwoller, Joseph P. Romano
Statistical inference is often simplified by sample-splitting. This simplification comes at the cost of the introduction of randomness not native to the data. We propose a simple p…
Uncertainty in the Hot Hand Fallacy: Detecting Streaky Alternatives to Random Bernoulli Sequences
David M. Ritzwoller, Joseph P. Romano
We study a class of permutation tests of the randomness of a collection of Bernoulli sequences and their application to analyses of the human tendency to perceive streaks of consec…
