New Targeted Highly Adaptive Lasso method improves statistical estimation

Researchers have introduced a new statistical method called Targeted Highly Adaptive Lasso (Targeted HAL) for estimating non-pathwise differentiable functional parameters, such as dose-response curves. This method utilizes spline basis functions and a LASSO step to approximate the target function, aiming for improved accuracy and data-adaptive inference. Simulations indicate that Targeted HAL outperforms existing HAL plug-in estimators in terms of bias and mean squared error, offering a flexible approach without requiring parametric assumptions. AI
