Abstract:  We study the problem of finding the index of the minimum value of a vector from noisy observations. This problem is relevant in population/policy comparison, discrete maximum likelihood, and model selection. By integrating concepts and tools from cross-validation and differential privacy, we develop a test statistic that is asymptotically normal even in high-dimensional settings, and allows for arbitrarily many ties in the population mean vector. The key technical ingredient is a central limit theorem for globally dependent data characterized…

Abstract In this talk we will discuss statistical inference of average treatment effect in measured confounder settings as well as parallel questions of inferring linear and quadratic functionals in generalized linear models under high dimensional proportional asymptotic settings i.e. when p/n→δ∈(0,∞) where p, n denote the dimension of the covariates and the sample size respectively . The results rely on the knowledge of the variance covariance matrix Σ of the covariates under study and we show that whereas √n-consistent asymptotically…
