We consider the variable selection problem, which seeks to identify important variables influencing a response $Y$ out of many candidate features $X_1, \ldots, X_p$. We wish to do so while offering finite-sample guarantees about the…
Controlled feature selection aims to discover the features a response depends on while limiting the false discovery rate (FDR) to a predefined level. Recently, multiple deep-learning-based methods have been proposed to perform controlled…
Knockoffs is a new framework for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in multiple hypothesis testing problems involving complex statistical models. While there has been great emphasis on Type-I error control, Type-II errors have been…
The knockoff filter is a powerful tool for controlled variable selection with false discovery rate (FDR) control. In this paper, we leverage e-values to allow the nominal FDR level to be switched post-hoc, after looking at the data and…
The Model-X knockoffs is a practical methodology for variable selection, which stands out from other selection strategies since it allows for the control of the false discovery rate (FDR), relying on finite-sample guarantees. In this…
Selecting important features in high-dimensional survival analysis is critical for identifying confirmatory biomarkers while maintaining rigorous error control. In this paper, we propose a derandomized knockoffs procedure for Cox regression…
In many applications, we need to study a linear regression model that consists of a response variable and a large number of potential explanatory variables and determine which variables are truly associated with the response. In 2015,…
Researchers in biomedical studies often work with samples that are not selected uniformly at random from the population of interest, a major example being a case-control study. While these designs are motivated by specific scientific…
We propose one-at-a-time knockoffs (OATK), a new methodology for detecting important explanatory variables in linear regression models while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). For each explanatory variable, OATK generates a…
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,…
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…
This paper introduces a machine for sampling approximate model-X knockoffs for arbitrary and unspecified data distributions using deep generative models. The main idea is to iteratively refine a knockoff sampling mechanism until a criterion…
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…
Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation (SLOPE) has shown the nice theoretical property as well as empirical behavior recently on the false discovery rate (FDR) control of high-dimensional feature selection by adaptively imposing the…
Model-X knockoffs is a wrapper that transforms essentially any feature importance measure into a variable selection algorithm, which discovers true effects while rigorously controlling the expected fraction of false positives. A frequently…
Recently, Barber and Cand\`es laid the theoretical foundation for a general framework for false discovery rate (FDR) control based on the notion of "knockoffs." A closely related FDR control methodology has long been employed in the…
High-dimensional feature selection is routinely required to balance statistical power with strict control of multiple-error metrics such as the k-Family-Wise Error Rate (k-FWER) and the False Discovery Proportion (FDP), yet some existing…
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…
We address challenges in variable selection with highly correlated data that are frequently present in finance, economics, but also in complex natural systems as e.g. weather. We develop a robustified version of the knockoff framework,…
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…
