Title:
Sensitivity analysis and its neighbourhoods
Abstract:
Sensitivity analysis may assist modellers from all fields of application to improve the quality of their inference. Sensitivity Analysis is crucial both in the model construction and model interpretation phases, and is considered an important ingredient of model verification and validation.
Sensitivity analysis is the study of how the uncertainty in the output of a mathematical model or system (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned to different sources of...

Title:
Subvector Inference in Partially Identified Models with Many Moment Inequalities
Abstract:
In this work we consider bootstrap-based inference methods for functions of the parameter vector in the presence of many moment inequalities where the number of moment inequalities, denoted by p, is possibly much larger than the sample size n. In particular this covers the case of subvector inference, such as the inference on a single component associated with a...

Title:
Inference for a directed acyclic graphical model with interventions
Abstract:
Consider an inference problem in a directed acyclic graphical model subject to unknown interventions. In this presentation, we will give conditions for multiple unknown interventions to yield an identifiable model. For inference, we identify...

Title:
Distance-based summaries and modeling of evolutionary trees
Abstract:
Ranked tree shapes are mathematical objects of great importance used to model hierarchical data and evolutionary processes with applications ranging across many fields including evolutionary biology and infectious disease transmission. While...
