In this article, we propose a generalized weighted version of the well-known Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure. The rigorous weighting scheme used by our method enables it to encode structural information from simultaneous multi-way…

In many application domains, networks are observed with node-level features. In such settings, a common problem is to assess whether or not nodal covariates are correlated with the network structure itself. Here, we present four novel…

We propose a general and flexible procedure for testing multiple hypotheses about sequential (or streaming) data that simultaneously controls both the false discovery rate (FDR) and false nondiscovery rate (FNR) under minimal assumptions…

We consider the problem of causal discovery (structure learning) from heterogeneous observational data. Most existing methods assume a homogeneous sampling scheme, which leads to misleading conclusions when violated in many applications. To…

We propose a method for testing whether hierarchically ordered groups of potentially correlated variables are significant for explaining a response in a high-dimensional linear model. In presence of highly correlated variables, as is very…

Factor and sparse models are two widely used methods to impose a low-dimensional structure in high-dimensions. However, they are seemingly mutually exclusive. We propose a lifting method that combines the merits of these two models in a…

The overwhelming majority of empirical research that uses cluster-robust inference assumes that the clustering structure is known, even though there are often several possible ways in which a dataset could be clustered. We propose two tests…
