Instrumental variable estimation for compositional treatments [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMany scientific datasets are compositional in nature. Important biological examples include species abundances in ecology, cell-type compositions derived from single-cell sequencing data, and amplicon abundance data in microbiome research.

An introduction to instrumental variables for epidemiologists [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2000 Instrumental-variable (IV) methods were invented over 70 years ago, but remain uncommon in epidemiology. Over the past decade or so, non-parametric versions of IV methods have appeared that connect IV methods to causal and measurement-error models important in epidemiological applications.

Hospitalization Due to Fire-Induced Pollution in the Brazilian Legal Amazon from 2005 to 2018
Remote Sensing, 2021 Fire is widely used in the Amazon as a ubiquitous driver of land management and land cover change. Regardless of their purpose, fires release a considerable amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, with severe consequences for human health.

Instrumental variable regression via kernel maximum moment loss
Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 We investigate a simple objective for nonlinear instrumental variable (IV) regression based on a kernelized conditional moment restriction known as a maximum moment restriction (MMR).
