Post-selection inference has recently been proposed as a way of quantifying uncertainty about detected changepoints. The idea is to run a changepoint detection algorithm, and then re-use the same data to perform a test for a change near…
Approximate message passing (AMP) has emerged both as a popular class of iterative algorithms and as a powerful analytic tool in a wide range of statistical estimation problems and statistical physics models. A well established line of AMP…
Lasso is a celebrated method for variable selection in linear models, but it faces challenges when the variables are moderately or strongly correlated. This motivates alternative approaches such as using a non-convex penalty, adding a ridge…
Recently, a new testing approach for response-adaptive clinical trials was proposed based on the allocation probabilities (AP) rather than the outcome data. While original work on the AP test focused on binary and normal endpoints and…
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…
Consider a case-control study in which we have a random sample, constructed in such a way that the proportion of cases in our sample is different from that in the general population---for instance, the sample is constructed to achieve a…
Knockoff variable selection is a powerful framework that creates synthetic knockoff variables to mirror the correlation structure of the observed features, enabling principled control of the false discovery rate in variable selection.…
Applying standard statistical methods after model selection may yield inefficient estimators and hypothesis tests that fail to achieve nominal type-I error rates. The main issue is the fact that the post-selection distribution of the data…

Penalization schemes like Lasso or ridge regression are routinely used to regress a response of interest on a high-dimensional set of potential predictors. Despite being decisive, the question of the relative strength of penalization is…
