Federal administrative data, such as tax data, are invaluable for research, but because of privacy concerns, access to these data is typically limited to select agencies and a few individuals. An alternative to sharing microlevel data is to allow individuals to query statistics without directly accessing the confidential data. This paper studies the feasibility of using differentially private (DP) methods to make certain queries while preserving privacy. We also include new methodological adaptations to existing DP regression methods for using new data types and returning standard error estimates. We define feasibility as the impact of DP methods on analyses for making public policy decisions and the queries accuracy according to several utility metrics. We evaluate the methods using Internal Revenue Service data and public-use Current Population Survey data and identify how specific data features might challenge some of these methods. Our findings show that DP methods are feasible for simple, univariate statistics but struggle to produce accurate regression estimates and confidence intervals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive statistical study of DP regression methodology on real, complex datasets, and the findings have significant implications for the direction of a growing research field and public policy.

While meta-analyzing retrospective cancer patient cohorts, an investigation of differences in the expressions of target oncogenes across cancer subtypes is of substantial interest because the results may uncover novel tumorigenesis mechanisms and improve screening and treatment strategies. Weighting methods facilitate unconfounded comparisons of multigroup potential outcomes in multiple observational studies. For example, Guha et al. (2022) introduced concordant weights, allowing integrative analyses of survival outcomes by maximizing the effective sample size. However, it remains unclear how to use this or other weighting approaches to analyze a variety of continuous, categorical, ordinal, or multivariate outcomes, especially when research interests prioritize uncommon or unplanned estimands suggested by post hoc analyses; examples include percentiles and moments of group potential outcomes and pairwise correlations of multivariate outcomes. This paper proposes a unified meta-analytical approach accommodating various types of endpoints and fosters new estimators compatible with most weighting frameworks. Asymptotic properties of the estimators are investigated under mild assumptions. For undersampled groups, we devise small-sample procedures for quantifying estimation uncertainty. We meta-analyze multi-site TCGA breast cancer data, shedding light on the differential mRNA expression patterns of eight targeted genes for the subtypes infiltrating ductal carcinoma and infiltrating lobular carcinoma.

We consider the problem of approximating a $d \times d$ covariance matrix $M$ with a rank-$k$ matrix under $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-differential privacy. We present and analyze a complex variant of the Gaussian mechanism and show that the Frobenius norm of the difference between the matrix output by this mechanism and the best rank-$k$ approximation to $M$ is bounded by roughly $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{kd})$, whenever there is an appropriately large gap between the $k$'th and the $k+1$'th eigenvalues of $M$. This improves on previous work that requires that the gap between every pair of top-$k$ eigenvalues of $M$ is at least $\sqrt{d}$ for a similar bound. Our analysis leverages the fact that the eigenvalues of complex matrix Brownian motion repel more than in the real case, and uses Dyson's stochastic differential equations governing the evolution of its eigenvalues to show that the eigenvalues of the matrix $M$ perturbed by complex Gaussian noise have large gaps with high probability. Our results contribute to the analysis of low-rank approximations under average-case perturbations and to an understanding of eigenvalue gaps for random matrices, which may be of independent interest.

Blockwise missing data occurs frequently when we integrate multisource or multimodality data where different sources or modalities contain complementary information. In this paper, we consider a high-dimensional linear regression model with blockwise missing covariates and a partially observed response variable. Under this framework, we propose a computationally efficient estimator for the regression coefficient vector based on carefully constructed unbiased estimating equations and a blockwise imputation procedure, and obtain its rate of convergence. Furthermore, building upon an innovative projected estimating equation technique that intrinsically achieves bias-correction of the initial estimator, we propose a nearly unbiased estimator for each individual regression coefficient, which is asymptotically normally distributed under mild conditions. Based on these debiased estimators, asymptotically valid confidence intervals and statistical tests about each regression coefficient are constructed. Numerical studies and application analysis of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative data show that the proposed method performs better and benefits more from unsupervised samples than existing methods.

This paper presents an intuitive application of multivariate kernel density estimation (KDE) for data correction. The method utilizes the expected value of the conditional probability density function (PDF) and a credible interval to quantify correction uncertainty. A selective KDE factor is proposed to adjust both kernel size and shape, determined through least-squares cross-validation (LSCV) or mean conditional squared error (MCSE) criteria. The selective bandwidth method can be used in combination with the adaptive method to potentially improve accuracy. Two examples, involving a hypothetical dataset and a realistic dataset, demonstrate the efficacy of the method. The selective bandwidth methods consistently outperform non-selective methods, while the adaptive bandwidth methods improve results for the hypothetical dataset but not for the realistic dataset. The MCSE criterion minimizes root mean square error but may yield under-smoothed distributions, whereas the LSCV criterion strikes a balance between PDF fitness and low RMSE.

Neural operator architectures employ neural networks to approximate operators mapping between Banach spaces of functions; they may be used to accelerate model evaluations via emulation, or to discover models from data. Consequently, the methodology has received increasing attention over recent years, giving rise to the rapidly growing field of operator learning. The first contribution of this paper is to prove that for general classes of operators which are characterized only by their $C^r$- or Lipschitz-regularity, operator learning suffers from a curse of dimensionality, defined precisely here in terms of representations of the infinite-dimensional input and output function spaces. The result is applicable to a wide variety of existing neural operators, including PCA-Net, DeepONet and the FNO. The second contribution of the paper is to prove that the general curse of dimensionality can be overcome for solution operators defined by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation; this is achieved by leveraging additional structure in the underlying solution operator, going beyond regularity. To this end, a novel neural operator architecture is introduced, termed HJ-Net, which explicitly takes into account characteristic information of the underlying Hamiltonian system. Error and complexity estimates are derived for HJ-Net which show that this architecture can provably beat the curse of dimensionality related to the infinite-dimensional input and output function spaces.

We propose a novel framework for discovering Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) from data. The proposed approach combines the concepts of stochastic calculus, variational Bayes theory, and sparse learning. We propose the extended Kramers-Moyal expansion to express the drift and diffusion terms of an SPDE in terms of state responses and use Spike-and-Slab priors with sparse learning techniques to efficiently and accurately discover the underlying SPDEs. The proposed approach has been applied to three canonical SPDEs, (a) stochastic heat equation, (b) stochastic Allen-Cahn equation, and (c) stochastic Nagumo equation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed approach can accurately identify the underlying SPDEs with limited data. This is the first attempt at discovering SPDEs from data, and it has significant implications for various scientific applications, such as climate modeling, financial forecasting, and chemical kinetics.

Transformers have gained popularity in time series forecasting for their ability to capture long-sequence interactions. However, their high memory and computing requirements pose a critical bottleneck for long-term forecasting. To address this, we propose TSMixer, a lightweight neural architecture exclusively composed of multi-layer perceptron (MLP) modules. TSMixer is designed for multivariate forecasting and representation learning on patched time series, providing an efficient alternative to Transformers. Our model draws inspiration from the success of MLP-Mixer models in computer vision. We demonstrate the challenges involved in adapting Vision MLP-Mixer for time series and introduce empirically validated components to enhance accuracy. This includes a novel design paradigm of attaching online reconciliation heads to the MLP-Mixer backbone, for explicitly modeling the time-series properties such as hierarchy and channel-correlations. We also propose a Hybrid channel modeling approach to effectively handle noisy channel interactions and generalization across diverse datasets, a common challenge in existing patch channel-mixing methods. Additionally, a simple gated attention mechanism is introduced in the backbone to prioritize important features. By incorporating these lightweight components, we significantly enhance the learning capability of simple MLP structures, outperforming complex Transformer models with minimal computing usage. Moreover, TSMixer's modular design enables compatibility with both supervised and masked self-supervised learning methods, making it a promising building block for time-series Foundation Models. TSMixer outperforms state-of-the-art MLP and Transformer models in forecasting by a considerable margin of 8-60%. It also outperforms the latest strong benchmarks of Patch-Transformer models (by 1-2%) with a significant reduction in memory and runtime (2-3X).

We study distributed estimation and learning problems in a networked environment in which agents exchange information to estimate unknown statistical properties of random variables from their privately observed samples. By exchanging information about their private observations, the agents can collectively estimate the unknown quantities, but they also face privacy risks. The goal of our aggregation schemes is to combine the observed data efficiently over time and across the network, while accommodating the privacy needs of the agents and without any coordination beyond their local neighborhoods. Our algorithms enable the participating agents to estimate a complete sufficient statistic from private signals that are acquired offline or online over time, and to preserve the privacy of their signals and network neighborhoods. This is achieved through linear aggregation schemes with adjusted randomization schemes that add noise to the exchanged estimates subject to differential privacy (DP) constraints. In every case, we demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithms by proving convergence to the estimators of a hypothetical, omniscient observer that has central access to all of the signals. We also provide convergence rate analysis and finite-time performance guarantees and show that the noise that minimizes the convergence time to the best estimates is the Laplace noise, with parameters corresponding to each agent's sensitivity to their signal and network characteristics. Finally, to supplement and validate our theoretical results, we run experiments on real-world data from the US Power Grid Network and electric consumption data from German Households to estimate the average power consumption of power stations and households under all privacy regimes.

Clinical trials often involve the assessment of multiple endpoints to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of interventions. In the work, we consider a global nonparametric testing procedure based on multivariate rank for the analysis of multiple endpoints in clinical trials. Unlike other existing approaches that rely on pairwise comparisons for each individual endpoint, the proposed method directly incorporates the multivariate ranks of the observations. By considering the joint ranking of all endpoints, the proposed approach provides robustness against diverse data distributions and censoring mechanisms commonly encountered in clinical trials. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate the superior performance of the multivariate rank-based approach in controlling type I error and achieving higher power compared to existing rank-based methods. The simulations illustrate the advantages of leveraging multivariate ranks and highlight the robustness of the approach in various settings. The proposed method offers an effective tool for the analysis of multiple endpoints in clinical trials, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of outcome evaluations.
