New framework enables regression analysis with biased samples

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for regression analysis that provides a complete characterization of when it's possible to learn from biased samples. This method addresses ubiquitous challenges in fields like clinical trials and labor markets where data is observed only after passing through selection filters. The new approach offers minimal assumptions for identification and can even identify the regression function when the selection filter itself cannot, moving beyond traditional debiasing paradigms. The work also establishes finite-sample estimation guarantees and provides efficient algorithms for this broad class of selection problems. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical foundation for handling biased data, crucial for many machine learning applications.

    Learning-Enabled Estimation: Tight Characterizations under Sample Selection Biases

    arXiv:2609.38608v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When can we learn from biased samples? We study regression when outcomes are observed only after passing through selection filters that depend on both covariates and outcomes themselves, a ubiquitous challenge spanning clinical tr…
