Presentation: Semiparametric Inference with Incomplete Data: Data Fusion, Instrumental Variables, and Proximal Causal Models
Abstract: We consider the possibility of debiased inference for parameters broadly linked by their reliance on incomplete data. Our first project focuses on fused data, the integration of data from many different sources, each of which may provide incomplete information about the target distribution of interest. We address the goal of conducting inference about a smooth finite-dimensional parameter by utilizing individual-level data from various independent sources. Recent advancements have led to the development of a comprehensive theory capable of handling scenarios where different data sources align with, possibly distinct subsets of, conditional distributions of a single factorization of the joint target distribution. While this theory proves effective in many significant contexts, it falls short in…
