Outcome-Aware Spectral Feature Learning for Instrumental Variable Regression
Dimitri Meunier, Jakub Wornbard, Vladimir R. Kostic +5
We address the problem of causal effect estimation in the presence of hidden confounders using nonparametric instrumental variable (IV) regression. An established approach is to us…
Semiparametrically Efficient Inference for Kernel Measures of Noise Heterogeneity
Jakub Wornbard, Zikai Shen, Dimitri Meunier +1
We develop semiparametrically efficient inference for kernel measures of noise heterogeneity in additive noise models. In many applications, the regression function is estimated us…
Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Analysis Without Structural Equations: Debiased Inference on Functionals of Inverse Problems with No Solutions
Zikai Shen, Nathan Kallus, Dimitri Meunier +3
We consider debiased inference on finite-dimensional functionals of infinite-dimensional least-squares solutions to inverse problems as a way to avoid having to assume exact soluti…
Doubly Robust Proxy Causal Learning with Neural Mean Embeddings
Bariscan Bozkurt, Alexandre Galashov, Dimitri Meunier +3
Unobserved confounding prevents standard covariate adjustment from identifying causal response functions in observational studies. Proxy causal learning addresses this problem thro…
Nonparametric Instrumental Regression via Kernel Methods is Minimax Optimal
Dimitri Meunier, Zhu Li, Tim Christensen +1
We study the kernel instrumental variable (KIV) algorithm, a kernel-based two-stage least-squares method for nonparametric instrumental variable regression. We provide a convergenc…
Density Ratio-Free Doubly Robust Proxy Causal Learning
Bariscan Bozkurt, Houssam Zenati, Dimitri Meunier +2
We study the problem of causal function estimation in the Proxy Causal Learning (PCL) framework, where confounders are not observed but proxies for the confounders are available. T…
