Instrumental Variables Estimation with Some Invalid Instruments and its Application to Mendelian Randomization

Hyunseung Kang, Anru Zhang, T. Tony Cai +1

Instrumental variables have been widely used for estimating the causal effect between exposure and outcome. Conventional estimation methods require complete knowledge about all the…

Adaptive confidence intervals for regression functions under shape constraints

T. Tony Cai, Mark G. Low, Yin Xia

Adaptive confidence intervals for regression functions are constructed under shape constraints of monotonicity and convexity. A natural benchmark is established for the minimum exp…

Sparse PCA: Optimal rates and adaptive estimation

T. Tony Cai, Zongming Ma, Yihong Wu

Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most commonly used statistical procedures with a wide range of applications. This paper considers both minimax and adaptive estimat…
