Cubic-Root Gaussian Approximation under Unrestricted Covariance

Zijun Gao, Weihan Zhang

For Gaussian approximation over high-dimensional rectangles under unrestricted covariance, Chernozhukov et al. (2023b) conjectured that the rate, up to logarithmic facto…

Flexible Inference for Winners with Conditional Validity

Soham Bakshi, Lingjun Gao, Zijun Gao +1

Researchers often select top-performing options or winners, based on a data-driven criterion, such as treatments, models, or model features and then report effect estimates for the…

Reliable conformal novelty detection at the decision boundary

Zijun Gao, Etienne Roquain, Daniel Xiang

Novelty detection via conformal -values and BH procedure provides distribution-free global false discovery rate (FDR) control. We present here fundamental limits of this approac…

Estimation and Inference for Causal Explainability

Weihan Zhang, Zijun Gao

Understanding how much each variable contributes to an outcome is a central question across disciplines. A causal view of explainability is favorable for its ability in uncovering…

Reliable Selection of Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Estimators

Jiayi Guo, Zijun Gao

We study the problem of selecting the best heterogeneous treatment effect (HTE) estimator from a collection of candidates in settings where the treatment effect is fundamentally un…

MUSE: Multi-Treatment Experiment Design for Winner Selection and Effect Estimation

Jiachen Xu, Jian Qian, Zijun Gao

We study the design of experiments with multiple treatment levels, a setting common in clinical trials and online A/B/n testing. Unlike single-treatment studies, practical analyses…
