New statistical method reconstructs response surfaces from observational data

Researchers have introduced Retrospective Orthogonal Design (ROD), a novel method for reconstructing conditional mean surfaces from observational data. This technique aims to address issues of specification dependence and term order sensitivity in regression estimates. ROD reconstructs surfaces on a probability-balanced lattice, preserving observed cell means and completing unsupported cells through piecewise-affine interpolation. The method has demonstrated strong performance across various simulation conditions, often matching or exceeding polynomial regression, particularly on threshold, sign-interaction, and localized surfaces.
