Causal Inference with High-dimensional Discrete Covariates

Zhenghao Zeng, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Yanjun Han +1

When estimating causal effects from observational studies, researchers often need to adjust for many covariates to deconfound the non-causal relationship between exposure and outco…

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…

The Fundamental Limits of Structure-Agnostic Functional Estimation

Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Edward H. Kennedy, Larry Wasserman

Many recent developments in causal inference, and functional estimation problems more generally, have been motivated by the fact that classical one-step (first-order) debiasing met…

Double Cross-fit Doubly Robust Estimators: Beyond Series Regression

Alec McClean, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Edward H. Kennedy +1

Doubly robust estimators with cross-fitting have gained popularity in causal inference due to their favorable structure-agnostic error guarantees. However, when additional structur…

Two-Sample Testing with a Graph-Based Total Variation Integral Probability Metric

Alden Green, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Ryan J. Tibshirani

We consider a novel multivariate nonparametric two-sample testing problem where, under the alternative, distributions and are separated in an integral probability metric ov…

Plugin Estimation of Smooth Optimal Transport Maps

Tudor Manole, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Jonathan Niles-Weed +1

We analyze a number of natural estimators for the optimal transport map between two distributions and show that they are minimax optimal. We adopt the plugin approach: our estimato…
