Causally Regularized Learning with Agnostic Data Selection Bias

open access: yes, 2018
Most of previous machine learning algorithms are proposed based on the i.i.d. hypothesis. However, this ideal assumption is often violated in real applications, where selection bias may arise between training and testing process.

Young children's referent selection is guided by novelty for both words and actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Young children are biased to select novel, name-unknown objects as referents of novel labels (e.g., Markman, 1990) and similarly favour novel, action-unknown objects as referents of novel actions (Riggs, Mather, Hyde & Simpson, 2015).

Network experiment designs for inferring causal effects under interference

open access: yesFrontiers in Big Data, 2023
Current approaches to A/B testing in networks focus on limiting interference, the concern that treatment effects can “spill over” from treatment nodes to control nodes and lead to biased causal effect estimation. In the presence of interference, two main

Confidence intervals and P-valves for meta analysis with publication bias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We study publication bias in meta analysis by supposing there is a population (y, σ) of studies which give treatment effect estimates y ~ N(θ, σ2). A selection function describes the probability that each study is selected for review.

This paper reconsiders experimental tests of the English clock auction. We point out why the standard procedure can only use a small subset of all bids, which gives rise to a selection bias.
