Brian McNair, Eric Margolin, Michael Law +1
This paper aims to revisit and expand upon previous work on the "hot hand" phenomenon in basketball, specifically in the NBA. Using larger, modern data sets, we test streakiness of…
Design of -Optimal Experiments for High dimensional Linear Models
Hamid Eftekhari, Moulinath Banerjee, Ya'acov Ritov
We study random designs that minimize the asymptotic variance of a de-biased lasso estimator when a large pool of unlabeled data is available but measuring the corresponding respon…
Markovian And Non-Markovian Processes with Active Decision Making Strategies For Addressing The COVID-19 Pandemic
Hamid Eftekhari, Debarghya Mukherjee, Moulinath Banerjee +1
We study and predict the evolution of Covid-19 in six US states from the period May 1 through August 31 using a discrete compartment-based model and prescribe active intervention p…
Scalable Monte Carlo Inference and Rescaled Local Asymptotic Normality
Ning Ning, Edward Ionides, Ya'acov Ritov
In this paper, we generalize the property of local asymptotic normality (LAN) to an enlarged neighborhood, under the name of rescaled local asymptotic normality (RLAN). We obtain s…
