Nonparametric Motion Control in Functional Connectivity Studies in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Jialu Ran, Sarah Shultz, Benjamin B. Risk +1
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with difficulties with social interactions, communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. To ch…
Flexible Nonparametric Inference for Causal Effects under the Front-Door Model
Anna Guo, David Benkeser, Razieh Nabi
Evaluating causal treatment effects in observational studies requires addressing confounding. While the back-door criterion enables identification through adjustment for observed c…
Statistical learning for constrained functional parameters in infinite-dimensional models
Razieh Nabi, Nima S. Hejazi, Mark J. van der Laan +1
We develop a general framework for estimating function-valued parameters under equality or inequality constraints in infinite-dimensional statistical models. Such constrained learn…
Monte Carlo Integration in Simple and Complex Simulation Designs
Ashley I. Naimi, David Benkeser, Jacqueline E. Rudolph
Simulation studies are used to evaluate and compare the properties of statistical methods in controlled experimental settings. In most cases, performing a simulation study requires…
Fair Risk Minimization under Causal Path-Specific Effect Constraints
Razieh Nabi, David Benkeser
This paper introduces a framework for estimating fair optimal predictions using machine learning where the notion of fairness can be quantified using path-specific causal effects.…
