Perturbative methods for non-parametric instrumental variable
Researchers have developed a new perturbative approach for nonparametric instrumental variable (NPIV) estimation, drawing inspiration from physics perturbation theory. This method enhances standard kernel ridge techniques by incorporating systematic higher-order corrections, which notably improve estimation accuracy, especially in high-dimensional scenarios. Experimental results indicate that first-order perturbative corrections can decrease prediction error by up to 99% in ill-defined, high-dimensional cases compared to traditional ridge regression. AI
