The estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects in the potential outcome setting is biased when there exists model misspecification or unobserved confounding. As these biases are unobservable, what model to use when remains a critical…

Often in applications ranging from medical imaging and sensor networks to error correction and data science (and beyond), one needs to solve large-scale linear systems in which a fraction of the measurements have been corrupted. We consider…

Recently, a generalized test approach is proposed by Sadooghi-alvandi et al. (2016) and a fiducial approach is proposed by Xu and Li (2018) to test the equality of coefficients in several regression models with unequal variances. In this…

Empirical researchers often use slope-homogeneity tests to assess whether slopes can be treated as common across units. A key difficulty is that heterogeneity may be concentrated in a small number of units, so that a failure to reject…
