Estimation and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects using Random Forests∗
Many scientific and engineering challenges—ranging from personalized medicine to customized marketing recommendations—require an understanding of treatment effect heterogeneity. In this paper, we develop a non-parametric causal forest for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects that extends Breiman’s widely used random forest algorithm. Given a potential outcomes framework with unconfoundedn...
متن کاملQuasi Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Spatial Models with Heterogeneous Coefficients∗
This paper considers spatial autoregressive panel data models and extends their analysis to the case where the spatial coefficients differ across the spatial units. It derives conditions under which the spatial coefficients are identified and develops a quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation procedure. Under certain regularity conditions, it is shown that the QML estimators of individual spa...
متن کاملStatistics of Extremes by Oracle Estimation
We use the fitted Pareto law to construct an accompanying approximation of the excess distribution function. A selection rule of the location of the excess distribution function is proposed based on a stagewise lack-of-fit testing procedure. Our main result is an oracle type inequality for the Kullback–Leibler loss.
متن کاملSharp Oracle Inequalities in Low Rank Estimation
The paper deals with the problem of penalized empirical risk minimization over a convex set of linear functionals on the space of Hermitian matrices with convex loss and nuclear norm penalty. Such penalization is often used in low rank matrix recovery in the cases when the target function can be well approximated by a linear functional generated by a Hermitian matrix of relatively small rank (c...
