课程描述 Description


The course extends on Causal inference for statistics, social and biomedical sciences I. Here we will discuss causal inference using observational data. In Part III we assume that the assignment mechanism is “regular” in a well-defined sense and discuss what is called the “design” phase of an observational study. In Part IV we discuss data analysis for studies with regular assignment mechanisms. Here we consider matching and subclassification procedures, as well as model-based and weighting methods. Part V relax this regularity assumption and discuss more general assignment mechanisms. First, we assess the key unconfoundedness assumption and consider sensitivity analyses where we relax some of the key features of a regular assignment mechanism.

  • Matched Sampling for Causal Inference

    Description: Matched sampling, where the researcher first finds for each exposed unit (e.g., a smoker) a non-exposed unit (e.g., a never-smoker) who looks exactly like the exposed unit except for the exposure, and then compares outcomes (e.g., lung cancer rates) for the matched samples of units, is an intuitive method for inferring the causal effects of exposure versus non-exposure on the colle...

  • On the statistics of irreducible subrepresentations in large tensor powers of finite dimensional modules over simple Lie algebras (II)

    AbstractI will explain the solution to the following problem. Given a finite dimensional irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra, consider its N-th tensor power. It has a decomposition into the direct sum of irreducible modules. The problem is how to find the asymptotic of multiplicities of irreducible subrepresentations in the limit N \to \infty and how to find the asymptotic of the...
