Optimal Inference with Black-box Predictions
Lucas Kania, Abhinav Chakraborty, Edward Kennedy +2
Powerful black-box predictive models have motivated many proposals for combining observed data with predictions to perform valid statistical inference. Despite this progress, the f…
Testing Imprecise Hypotheses
Lucas Kania, Tudor Manole, Larry Wasserman +1
Many scientific applications involve testing theories that are only partially specified. This task often amounts to testing the goodness-of-fit of a candidate distribution while al…
Testing Random Effects for Binomial Data
Lucas Kania, Larry Wasserman, Sivaraman Balakrishnan
In modern scientific research, small-scale studies with limited participants are increasingly common. However, interpreting individual outcomes can be challenging, making it standa…
Robust semi-parametric signal detection in particle physics with classifiers decorrelated via optimal transport
Purvasha Chakravarti, Lucas Kania, Olaf Behnke +2
Searches for signals of new physics in particle physics are usually done by training a supervised classifier to separate a signal model from the known Standard Model physics (also…
