Barber and Candes recently introduced a feature selection method called knockoff+ that controls the false discovery rate (FDR) among the selected features in the classical linear regression problem. Knockoff+ uses the competition between…
The Model-X knockoff procedure has recently emerged as a powerful approach for feature selection with statistical guarantees. The advantage of knockoff is that if we have a good model of the features X, then we can identify salient features…
The false discovery rate (FDR)---the expected fraction of spurious discoveries among all the discoveries---provides a popular statistical assessment of the reproducibility of scientific studies in various disciplines. In this work, we…
The knockoff filter of Barber and Candes (arXiv:1404.5609) is a flexible framework for multiple testing in supervised learning models, based on introducing synthetic predictor variables to control the false discovery rate (FDR). Using the…
We investigate the robustness of the model-X knockoffs framework with respect to the misspecified or estimated feature distribution. We achieve such a goal by theoretically studying the feature selection performance of a practically…
In 2015, Barber and Candes introduced a new variable selection procedure called the knockoff filter to control the false discovery rate (FDR) and prove that this method achieves exact FDR control. Inspired by the work of Barber and Candes…
Model-free knockoffs is a recently proposed technique for identifying covariates that is likely to have an effect on a response variable. The method is an efficient method to control the false discovery rate in hypothesis tests for separate…
Variable selection plays a crucial role in enhancing modeling effectiveness across diverse fields, addressing the challenges posed by high-dimensional datasets of correlated variables. This work introduces a novel approach namely Knockoff…
An important problem in machine learning and statistics is to identify features that causally affect the outcome. This is often impossible to do from purely observational data, and a natural relaxation is to identify features that are…
We present a novel method for controlling the $k$-familywise error rate ($k$-FWER) in the linear regression setting using the knockoffs framework first introduced by Barber and Cand\`es. Our procedure, which we also refer to as knockoffs,…
Traditional deep learning compilers rely on heuristics for subgraph generation, which impose extra constraints on graph optimization, e.g., each subgraph can only contain at most one complex operator. In this paper, we propose AGO, a…
Model-X knockoffs is a general procedure that can leverage any feature importance measure to produce a variable selection algorithm, which discovers true effects while rigorously controlling the number or fraction of false positives.…
Continuous improvement in medical imaging techniques allows the acquisition of higher-resolution images. When these are used in a predictive setting, a greater number of explanatory variables are potentially related to the dependent…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often find association signals between many genetic variants and traits of interest in a genomic region. Functional annotations of these variants provide valuable prior information that helps…
Controlled variable selection is an important analytical step in various scientific fields, such as brain imaging or genomics. In these high-dimensional data settings, considering too many variables leads to poor models and high costs,…
We consider the problem of assessing the importance of multiple variables or factors from a dataset when side information is available. In principle, using side information can allow the statistician to pay attention to variables with a…
Thanks to its fine balance between model flexibility and interpretability, the nonparametric additive model has been widely used, and variable selection for this type of model has been frequently studied. However, none of the existing…
Recently, the scheme of model-X knockoffs was proposed as a promising solution to address controlled feature selection under high-dimensional finite-sample settings. However, the procedure of model-X knockoffs depends heavily on the…
We tackle the problem of selecting from among a large number of variables those that are 'important' for an outcome. We consider situations where groups of variables are also of interest in their own right. For example, each variable might…
The knockoff-based multiple testing setup of Barber & Candes (2015) for variable selection in multiple regression where sample size is as large as the number of explanatory variables is considered. The method of Benjamini & Hochberg (1995)…
