Randomization tests are a popular method for testing causal effects in clinical trials with finite-sample validity. In the presence of heterogeneous treatment effects, it is often of interest to select a subgroup that benefits from the…
The session-based recommendation (SBR) garners increasing attention due to its ability to predict anonymous user intents within limited interactions. Emerging efforts incorporate various kinds of side information into their methods for…
This paper outlines a unified framework for high dimensional variable selection for classification problems. Traditional approaches to finding interesting variables mostly utilize only partial information through moments (like mean…
In recent years, various deep learning techniques have been exploited in side channel attacks, with the anticipation of obtaining more appreciable attack results. Most of them concentrate on improving network architectures or putting…
There is a growing need for flexible general frameworks that integrate individual-level data with external summary information for improved statistical inference. External information relevant for a risk prediction model may come in…
Biases in existing datasets used to train algorithmic decision rules can raise ethical and economic concerns due to the resulting disparate treatment of different groups. We propose an algorithm for sequentially debiasing such datasets…
We develop an extension of the Knockoff Inference procedure, introduced by Barber and Candes (2015). This new method, called Aggregation of Multiple Knockoffs (AKO), addresses the instability inherent to the random nature of Knockoff-based…
In statistical learning, a dataset is often partitioned into two parts: the training set and the holdout (i.e., testing) set. For instance, the training set is used to learn a predictor, and then the holdout set is used for estimating the…
A fast Bayesian method that seamlessly fuses classification and hypothesis testing via discriminant analysis is developed. Building upon the original discriminant analysis classifier, modelling components are added to identify…
The false discovery rate (FDR) measures the share of false positives in a set of statistical tests. I develop simple and intuitive bounds on the FDR in cross-sectional predictability publications. The simplest bound requires just a few…
A physical data (such as astrophysical, geophysical, meteorological etc.) may appear as an output of an experiment or it may come out as a signal from a dynamical system or it may contain some sociological, economic or biological…
Semi-competing risks data arise when both non-terminal and terminal events are considered in a model. Such data with multiple events of interest are frequently encountered in medical research and clinical trials. In this framework, terminal…
The partial information decomposition (PID) is perhaps the leading proposal for resolving information shared between a set of sources and a target into redundant, synergistic, and unique constituents. Unfortunately, the PID framework has…
High-dimensional variable selection has emerged as one of the prevailing statistical challenges in the big data revolution. Many variable selection methods have been adapted for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to…
As artificial intelligence and machine learning tools become more accessible, and scientists face new obstacles to data collection (e.g., rising costs, declining survey response rates), researchers increasingly use predictions from…
To increase statistical efficiency in a randomized experiment, researchers often use stratification (i.e., blocking) in the design stage. However, conventional practices of stratification fail to exploit valuable information about the…
Supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning estimate a function given input/output samples. Generalization of the learned function to unseen data can be improved by incorporating side information into learning. Side information…
We present techniques to characterize which data is important to a recommender system and which is not. Important data is data that contributes most to the accuracy of the recommendation algorithm, while less important data contributes less…
Many scholars have called for raising statistical hurdles to guard against false discoveries in academic publications. I show these calls may be difficult to justify empirically. Published data exhibit bias: results that fail to meet…
Modern cell-perturbation experiments expose cells to panels of hundreds of stimuli, such as cytokines or CRISPR guides that perform gene knockouts. These experiments are designed to investigate whether a particular gene is upregulated or…
