Researchers have developed a new algorithm for estimating linear regressors with self-selection bias, improving upon previous methods. This algorithm achieves a faster running time by introducing the first local convergence approach to self-selection, addressing a key open question in the field. The method reduces the self-selection problem to statistical estimation under coarsening, a scenario where only a set containing the true value is observed. This approach, which handles non-convex partitions unlike prior work, leverages the geometric properties of the self-selection problem to overcome analytical limitations and may find applications in other latent-variable problems.
