Efficient estimation and correction of selection-induced bias with order statistics [PDF]

open access: yesStat Comput 34, 132 (2024), 2023
Model selection aims to identify a sufficiently well performing model that is possibly simpler than the most complex model among a pool of candidates. However, the decision-making process itself can inadvertently introduce non-negligible bias when the cross-validation estimates of predictive performance are marred by excessive noise.

A Robust Classifier Under Missing-Not-At-Random Sample Selection Bias [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The shift between the training and testing distributions is commonly due to sample selection bias, a type of bias caused by non-random sampling of examples to be included in the training set. Although there are many approaches proposed to learn a classifier under sample selection bias, few address the case where a subset of labels in the training set ...
