The mosaic permutation test: an exact and nonparametric goodness-of-fit test for factor models

Asher Spector, Rina Foygel Barber, Trevor Hastie +2

Financial firms often rely on fundamental factor models to explain correlations among asset returns and manage risk. Yet after major events, e.g., COVID-19, analysts may reassess w…

Controlled Variable Selection from Summary Statistics Only? A Solution via GhostKnockoffs and Penalized Regression

Zhaomeng Chen, Zihuai He, Benjamin B. Chu +4

Identifying which variables do influence a response while controlling false positives pervades statistics and data science. In this paper, we consider a scenario in which we only h…

Panning for Gold: Model-X Knockoffs for High-dimensional Controlled Variable Selection

Emmanuel Candes, Yingying Fan, Lucas Janson +1

Many contemporary large-scale applications involve building interpretable models linking a large set of potential covariates to a response in a nonlinear fashion, such as when the…
