Transcriptional modulation of the developing immune system by early life social adversity
Cole, Steven W.; Conti, Gabriella; Arevalo, Jesusa M.; … - 2012
To identify molecular mechanisms by which early life social conditions might influence adult risk of disease in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), we analyze changes in basal leukocyte gene expression profiles in 4-month-old animals reared under adverse social conditions. Compared to the basal...

Machine Learning Estimation of Heterogeneous Causal Effects: Empirical Monte Carlo Evidence
Knaus, Michael C.; Lechner, Michael; Strittmatter, Anthony - 2018
We investigate the finite sample performance of causal machine learning estimators for heterogeneous causal effects at different aggregation levels. We employ an Empirical Monte Carlo Study that relies on arguably realistic data generation processes (DGPs) based on actual data. We consider 24...

Fused LASSO as Non-crossing Quantile Regression
Szendrei, Tibor; Bhattacharjee, Arnab; Schaffer, Mark E - 2024
Quantile crossing has been a challenge for quantile regression, leading to research in how to obtain monotonically increasing quantile estimates. While important contributions, these papers do not provide insight into how enforcing monotonicity influences the estimated coefficients. This paper...
