Two-stage Hypothesis Tests for Variable Interactions with FDR Control

no code implementations31 Aug 2022 Jingyi Duan, Yang Ning, Xi Chen, Yong Chen

In many scenarios such as genome-wide association studies where dependences between variables commonly exist, it is often of interest to infer the interaction effects in the model.

Treatment Effect Estimation with Unobserved and Heterogeneous Confounding Variables

no code implementations29 Jul 2022 Kevin Jiang, Yang Ning

The estimation of the treatment effect is often biased in the presence of unobserved confounding variables which are commonly referred to as hidden variables.

Optimal Variable Clustering for High-Dimensional Matrix Valued Data

no code implementations24 Dec 2021 Inbeom Lee, Siyi Deng, Yang Ning

To extract the information from the dependence structure for clustering, we propose a new latent variable model for the features arranged in matrix form, with some unknown membership matrices representing the clusters for the rows and columns.

Adaptive Estimation in Structured Factor Models with Applications to Overlapping Clustering

no code implementations23 Apr 2017 Xin Bing, Florentina Bunea, Yang Ning, Marten Wegkamp

This work introduces a novel estimation method, called LOVE, of the entries and structure of a loading matrix A in a sparse latent factor model X = AZ + E, for an observable random vector X in Rp, with correlated unobservable factors Z \in RK, with K unknown, and independent noise E. Each row of A is scaled and sparse.
