Causal matrix completion
Matrix completion is the study of recovering an underlying matrix from a sparse subset of
noisy observations. Traditionally, it is assumed that the entries of the matrix are “missing …

Adaptive principal component regression with applications to panel data
Principal component regression (PCR) is a popular technique for fixed-design error-in-
variables regression, a generalization of the linear regression setting in which the observed …

On the assumptions of synthetic control methods
Synthetic control (SC) methods have been widely applied to estimate the causal effect of
large-scale interventions, eg, the state-wide effect of a change in policy. The idea of …

Causal network models of SARS-CoV-2 expression and aging to identify candidates for drug repurposing
Given the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a major challenge is to rapidly repurpose
existing approved drugs for clinical interventions. While a number of data-driven and …

{CausalSim}: A Causal Framework for Unbiased {Trace-Driven} Simulation
We present CausalSim, a causal framework for unbiased trace-driven simulation. Current
trace-driven simulators assume that the interventions being simulated (eg, a new algorithm) …

Synthetic combinations: A causal inference framework for combinatorial interventions
We consider a setting where there are $ N $ heterogeneous units and $ p $ interventions.
Our goal is to learn unit-specific potential outcomes for any combination of these $ p …

Using multiple outcomes to improve the synthetic control method
When there are multiple outcome series of interest, Synthetic Control analyses typically
proceed by estimating separate weights for each outcome. In this paper, we instead propose …

Causal structure discovery between clusters of nodes induced by latent factors
We consider the problem of learning the structure of a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG)
model in the presence of latent variables. We define" latent factor causal models"(LFCMs) as …
