What is a randomization test?

Y Zhang, Q Zhao - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
The meaning of randomization tests has become obscure in statistics education and practice
over the last century. This article makes a fresh attempt at rectifying this core concept of …

Design and analysis of switchback experiments

I Bojinov, D Simchi-Levi, J Zhao - Management Science, 2023 - pubsonline.informs.org
Switchback experiments, where a firm sequentially exposes an experimental unit to random
treatments, are among the most prevalent designs used in the technology sector, with …

Causal inference in network experiments: regression-based analysis and design-based properties

M Gao, P Ding - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.07476, 2023 - arxiv.org

Neighborhood adaptive estimators for causal inference under network interference

A Belloni, F Fang, A Volfovsky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.03683, 2022 - arxiv.org
Estimating causal effects has become an integral part of most applied fields. Solving these
modern causal questions requires tackling violations of many classical causal assumptions …

Detecting Interference in Online Controlled Experiments with Increasing Allocation

K Han, S Li, J Mao, H Wu - Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGKDD …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
In the past decade, the technology industry has adopted online controlled experiments (aka

Dynamic treatment regimes with interference

C Jiang, MP Wallace… - Canadian Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Precision medicine describes health care where patient‐level data are used to inform
treatment decisions. Within this framework, dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) are …

Randomization tests for peer effects in group formation experiments

G Basse, P Ding, A Feller, P Toulis - Econometrica, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Measuring the effect of peers on individuals' outcomes is a challenging problem, in part
because individuals often select peers who are similar in both observable and unobservable …

Heterogeneous causal effects of neighbourhood policing in New York City with staggered adoption of the policy

J Antonelli, B Beck - Journal of the Royal Statistical Society …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Abstract In New York City, neighbourhood policing was adopted at the police precinct level
over the years 2015–2018, and it is of interest to both (1) evaluate the impact of the policy …

Design of two-stage experiments with an application to spillovers in tax compliance

G Cruces, D Tortarolo, G Vazquez-Bare - 2022 - econstor.eu
We set up a framework to conduct experiments for estimating spillover effects when units are
grouped into mutually exclusive clusters. We improve upon existing methods by allowing for …

Randomization test for the specification of interference structure

T Hoshino, T Yanagi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.05580, 2023 - arxiv.org
This study considers testing the specification of spillover effects in causal inference. We
focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known to …
