Beyond Tweedie's Formula: Conditional Score Modeling for Empirical Bayes Inference

Shonosuke Sugasawa, Zhigen Zhao

We propose conditional f-modeling (Cf-modeling), a framework for empirical Bayes inference with covariates. A central identity shows that the conditional marginal score function de…

Nonparametric f-Modeling for Empirical Bayes Inference with Unequal and Unknown Variances

Zhigen Zhao, Shonosuke Sugaasawa

Empirical Bayes methods are widely used for large-scale inference, yet most classical approaches assume homoscedastic observations and focus primarily on posterior mean estimation.…

On the testing of multiple hypothesis in sliced inverse regression

Zhigen Zhao, Xin Xing

We consider the multiple testing of the general regression framework aiming at studying the relationship between a univariate response and a p-dimensional predictor. To test the hy…

Controlling False Discovery Rate Using Gaussian Mirrors

Xin Xing, Zhigen Zhao, Jun S. Liu

Simultaneously finding multiple influential variables and controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) for linear regression models is a fundamental problem. We here propose the Gaus…

Where to find needles in a haystack?

Zhigen Zhao

In many existing methods in multiple comparison, one starts with either Fisher's p-values or the local fdr scores. The former one, with a usual definition as the tail probability e…

On F-Modelling based Empirical Bayes Estimation of Variances

Yeil Kwon, Zhigen Zhao

We consider the problem of empirical Bayes estimation of multiple variances when provided with sample variances. Assuming an arbitrary prior on the variances, we derive different v…
