Targeted Sequential Indirect Experiment Design
Elisabeth Ailer, Niclas Dern, Jason Hartford +1
Scientific hypotheses typically concern specific aspects of complex, imperfectly understood or entirely unknown mechanisms, such as the effect of gene expression levels on phenotyp…
Sequential Underspecified Instrument Selection for Cause-Effect Estimation
Elisabeth Ailer, Jason Hartford, Niki Kilbertus
Instrumental variable (IV) methods are used to estimate causal effects in settings with unobserved confounding, where we cannot directly experiment on the treatment variable. Instr…
Supervised Learning and Model Analysis with Compositional Data
Shimeng Huang, Elisabeth Ailer, Niki Kilbertus +1
The compositionality and sparsity of high-throughput sequencing data poses a challenge for regression and classification. However, in microbiome research in particular, conditional…
Instrumental Variable Estimation for Compositional Treatments
Elisabeth Ailer, Christian L. Müller, Niki Kilbertus
Many scientific datasets are compositional in nature. Important biological examples include species abundances in ecology, cell-type compositions derived from single-cell sequencin…
