Unbiased Treatment Effect Estimation under Network Interference via Neighborhood-Excluded Cross-Fitting

Haoyang Yu, Anqi Zhao, Hanzhong Liu

Without interference, cross-fitting enables flexible covariate adjustment while preserving finite-sample unbiasedness under independent unit-level randomization. Under network inte…

Design-based theory for causal inference from adaptive experiments

Xinran Li, Anqi Zhao

Adaptive designs dynamically update treatment probabilities using information accumulated during the experiment. Existing theory for causal inference from adaptive experiments prim…

Two-stage Least Squares with Clustered Data under the Local Average Treatment Effect Framework

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding, Fan Li

To estimate the causal effect of an endogenous treatment using clustered data, the canonical two-stage least squares (2sls) estimates a linear regression of the outcome on treatmen…

Alternative statistical inference for the first normalized incomplete moment

Jiannan Lu, Peng Ding, Anqi Zhao

This paper re-examines the first normalized incomplete moment, a well-established measure of inequality with wide applications in economic and social sciences. Despite the populari…

Two-stage least squares with treatment-covariate interactions for treatment effect heterogeneity

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding, Fan Li

Treatment effect heterogeneity with respect to covariates is common in instrumental variable (IV) analyses. An intuitive approach, which we call the interacted two-stage least squa…

Factorial Difference-in-Differences

Yiqing Xu, Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

We formulate factorial difference-in-differences (FDID), a research design that extends canonical difference-in-differences (DID) to settings in which an event affects all units. I…

Covariate adjustment in randomized experiments with missing outcomes and covariates

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding, Fan Li

Covariate adjustment can improve precision in analyzing randomized experiments. With fully observed data, regression adjustment and propensity score weighting are asymptotically eq…

A randomization-based theory for preliminary testing of covariate balance in controlled trials

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Randomized trials balance all covariates on average and provide the gold standard for estimating treatment effects. Chance imbalances nevertheless exist more or less in realized tr…

Rerandomization and covariate adjustment in split-plot designs

Wenqi Shi, Anqi Zhao, Hanzhong Liu

The split-plot design arises from agricultural sciences with experimental units, also known as subplots, nested within groups known as whole plots. It assigns the whole-plot interv…

Covariate adjustment in multi-armed, possibly factorial experiments

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Randomized experiments are the gold standard for causal inference, and justify simple comparisons across treatment groups. Regression adjustment provides a convenient way to incorp…

No star is good news: A unified look at rerandomization based on -values from covariate balance tests

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Modern social and biomedical scientific publications require the reporting of covariate balance tables with not only covariate means by treatment group but also the associated -…

To adjust or not to adjust? Estimating the average treatment effect in randomized experiments with missing covariates

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Complete randomization allows for consistent estimation of the average treatment effect based on the difference in means of the outcomes without strong modeling assumptions on the…

Reconciling design-based and model-based causal inferences for split-plot experiments

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

The split-plot design assigns different interventions at the whole-plot and sub-plot levels, respectively, and induces a group structure on the final treatment assignments. A commo…

Regression-based causal inference with factorial experiments: estimands, model specifications, and design-based properties

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Factorial designs are widely used due to their ability to accommodate multiple factors simultaneously. The factor-based regression with main effects and some interactions is the do…

Covariate-adjusted Fisher randomization tests for the average treatment effect

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding

Fisher's randomization test (FRT) delivers exact -values under the strong null hypothesis of no treatment effect on any units whatsoever and allows for flexible covariate adjust…

Randomization-Based Causal Inference from Unbalanced 2^2 Split-Plot Designs

Anqi Zhao, Peng Ding, Tirthankar Dasgupta

Given two 2-level factors of interest, a 2^2 split-plot design} (a) takes each of the possible factorial combinations as a treatment, (b) identifies one factor as `whole-pl…
