Estimating Optimal Treatment Rules with an Instrumental Variable: A Partial Identification Learning Approach

description: Individualized treatment rules (ITRs) are considered a promising recipe to deliver better policy interventions. One key ingredient in optimal ITR estimation problems is to estimate the average treatment effect conditional on a subject's covariate information, which is often challenging in observational studies due to the universal concern of unmeasured confounding. Instrumental variables (IVs) are widely-used tools to infer the treatment effect when there is unmeasured confounding between the treatment and outcome. In this work, we propose a general framework of approaching the optimal ITR estimation problem when a valid IV is allowed to only partially identify the treatment effect. We introduce a novel notion of optimality called "IV-optimality". A treatment rule is said to be IV-optimal if it minimizes the maximum risk with respect to the putative IV and the set of IV identification assumptions. We derive a bound on the risk of an IV-optimal rule that illuminates when an IV-optimal rule has favorable generalization performance. We propose a classification-based statistical learning method that estimates such an IV-optimal rule, design computationally-efficient algorithms, and prove theoretical guarantees. We contrast our proposed method to the popular outcome weighted learning (OWL) approach via extensive simulations, and apply our method to study which mothers would benefit from traveling to deliver their premature babies at hospitals with high level neonatal intensive care units.

description: We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using a sample of 205,443 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, covering 2417 square degrees with mean redshift z~0.1. We employ a matrix-based method using pseudo-Karhunen-Loeve eigenmodes, producing uncorrelated minimum-variance measurements in 22 k-bands of both the clustering power and its anisotropy due to redshift-space distortions, with narrow and well-behaved window functions in the range 0.02 h/Mpc < k < 0.3h/Mpc. We pay particular attention to modeling, quantifying and correcting for potential systematic errors, nonlinear redshift distortions and the artificial red-tilt caused by luminosity-dependent bias. Our final result is a measurement of the real-space matter power spectrum P(k) up to an unknown overall multiplicative bias factor. Our calculations suggest that this bias factor is independent of scale to better than a few percent for k<0.1h/Mpc, thereby making our results useful for precision measurements of cosmological parameters in conjunction with data from other experiments such as the WMAP satellite. As a simple characterization of the data, our measurements are well fit by a flat scale-invariant adiabatic cosmological model with h Omega_m =0.201+/- 0.017 and L* galaxy sigma_8=0.89 +/- 0.02 when fixing the baryon fraction Omega_b/Omega_m=0.17 and the Hubble parameter h=0.72; cosmological interpretation is given in a companion paper.

description: Cardiac post-surgery inpatients lack the amount and quality of sleep needed for optimal recovery. I aimed to investigate the non-pharmacological sleep promotion practices used by nurses and the factors that influence their use. Guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework, I developed and administered a survey to registered nurses working in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and the cardiac surgery ward in one cardiac centre. Findings revealed that common sleep promotion practices included orientating inpatients to the room (n=88, 96.7%), and providing additional bedding (n=86, 96.6%). The most common enablers were knowledge regarding its benefits (n=72, 100%) and an understanding of its importance (n=77, 98.7%); the most common barriers were an absence of recognition from important healthcare professionals (n=61, 85.9%) and having competing priorities (n=60, 83.3%). These findings can be used in the development of interventions to promote nurses’ use of sleep promotion practices and to improve inpatients’ sleep quality.

Both of them are numerical invariants, but, while the TC only depends on the homotopy type, the GC is an invariant under isometries. We show that in many cases they coincide but we also develop tools to distinguish the two in a range of examples. To this end, we study what we denote the total cut locus, which does not appear to have been explicitly considered in the literature. To the knowledge of the author, the GC is a new invariant of a metric space. Furthermore, just like the TC, the GC has potential applications to the field of robotics.

description: We present self-similar models of resistive viscous Keplerian disks driving non-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) jets becoming super fast-magnetosonic. We show that in order to obtain such solutions, the thermal pressure must be a sizeable fraction of the poloidal magnetic pressure at the Alfven surface. These steady solutions which undergo a recollimation shock causally disconnected from the driving engine, account for structures with a high temperature plasma in the sub-Alfvenic region. We suggest that only unsteady outflows with typical time-scales of several disk dynamical time-scales can be produced if the suitable pressure conditions are not fulfilled.

description: The kinematics of tidal tails in colliding galaxies has been studied via Fabry-Perot observations of the Halpha emission. With their large field of view and high spatial resolution, the Fabry-Perot data allow to probe simultaneously, in 2-D, two kinematical features of the tidal ionized gas: large-scale velocity gradients due to streaming motions along the tails, and small-scale motions related to the internal dynamics of giant HII regions within the tails. In several interacting systems, massive (10^9 Msun) condensations of HI, CO and stars are observed in the outer regions of tails. Whether they are genuine accumulations of matter or not is still debated. Indeed a part of the tidal tail may be aligned with the line-of-sight, and the associated projection effect may result in apparent accumulations of matter that does not exist in the 3-D space. Using numerical simulations, we show that studying the large-scale kinematics of tails, it is possible to know whether these accumulations of matter are the result of projection effects or not. We conclude that several ones are genuine accumulations of matter. We also study the small-scale motions inside these regions: several small-scale velocity gradients are identified with projected values as large as 50-100 km/s accross the observed HII regions. In one system, the spatial resolution of our observations is sufficient to detail the velocity field; we show that it is rotating and self-gravitating, and discuss its dark matter content. The Fabry-Perot observations have thus enabled us to prove that some 10^9 Msun condensations of matter are real structures, and are kinematically decoupled from the rest of the tail. Such massive and self-gravitating objects are the progenitors of the so-called ''Tidal Dwarf Galaxies''.

description: The number of farms declined substantially during the 1980's, mostly due to a reduction in new farm formation rather than an increase in the rate of operators leaving farming. Major causes for the decline were fewer farmers entering as farm economic conditions worsened. If this trend continues or remains stable, farm numbers will continue to decline, even if the rate of exit does not increase.

It was determined that apple and tobacco exports were responsive, while poultry exports were not. Marginal returns to an additional dollar of export promotion for apples and tobacco were $60 and $31, respectively. Results indicated that response to poultry promotion was not different from zero. This is likely due to aggregation of data which does not permit isolating impacts of specific promotional efforts.

description: We examine adiabatic quantum pumping generated by an oscillating scatterer embedded in a one-dimensional ballistic ring and compare it with pumping caused by the same scatterer connected to external reservoirs. The pumped current for an open conductor, paradoxically, is non-zero even in the limit of vanishing transmission. In contrast, for the ring geometry the pumped current vanishes in the limit of vanishing transmission. We explain this paradoxical result and demonstrate that the physics underlying adiabatic pumping is the same in open and in closed systems.

description: Research in social psychology has shown that people's biased, subjective judgments about another's personality based solely on their appearance are not predictive of their actual personality traits. But researchers and companies often utilize computer vision models to predict similarly subjective personality attributes such as "employability." We seek to determine whether state-of-the-art, black box face processing technology can learn human-like appearance biases. With features extracted with FaceNet, a widely used face recognition framework, we train a transfer learning model on human subjects' first impressions of personality traits in other faces as measured by social psychologists. We find that features extracted with FaceNet can be used to predict human appearance bias scores for deliberately manipulated faces but not for randomly generated faces scored by humans. Additionally, in contrast to work with human biases in social psychology, the model does not find a significant signal correlating politicians' vote shares with perceived competence bias. With Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME), we provide several explanations for this discrepancy. Our results suggest that some signals of appearance bias documented in social psychology are not embedded by the machine learning techniques we investigate. We shed light on the ways in which appearance bias could be embedded in face processing technology and cast further doubt on the practice of predicting subjective traits based on appearances.

We show that this convex program is also a relaxation of the permanent of Hermitian positive semidefinite (HPSD) matrices. By analyzing a constructive randomized rounding algorithm, we obtain an improved multiplicative approximation factor to the permanent of HPSD matrices, as well as computationally efficient certificates for this approximation. We also propose an analog of van der Waerden's conjecture for HPSD matrices, where the polynomial optimization problem is interpreted as a relaxation of the permanent.

description: Previously, observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer showed that millisecond oscillations occur preferentially in thermonuclear X-ray bursts with photospheric radius expansion from sources rotating near 600 Hz, while they occur with equal likelihood in X-ray bursts with and without radius expansion for sources rotating near 300 Hz. With a larger sample of data than in previous studies, we find that the detectability of the oscillations is not directly determined by the properties of the X-ray bursts. Instead, we find that (1) the oscillations are observed almost exclusively when the accretion rate onto the neutron star is high, but that (2) radius expansion is only observed at high accretion rates from the 600 Hz sources, whereas it occurs only at low accretion rates in the 300 Hz sources. The persistent millisecond pulsars provide the only apparent exceptions to these trends. The first result might be explained if the oscillation amplitudes are attenuated at low accretion rates by an extended electron corona. The second result indicates that the rotation period of the neutron star determines how the burst properties vary with accretion rate, possibly through the differences in the effective surface gravity or the strength of the Coriolis force.

description: Employment changes in farm and farm-related industries reveal the restructuring of agriculture's linkages to the U.S. economy. Agricultural production jobs have declined in reaction to laborsaving technological advancements and periods of unfavorable economic conditions. Some farm-related industries have also declined or remained stable, but other industries that process, market, and sell agricultural products have experienced employment growth. These employment changes vary by direction and intensity between metro and nonmetro areas and among farm production regions.

description: We propose a class of kernel-based two-sample tests, which aim to determine whether two sets of samples are drawn from the same distribution. Our tests are constructed from kernels parameterized by deep neural nets, trained to maximize test power. These tests adapt to variations in distribution smoothness and shape over space, and are especially suited to high dimensions and complex data. By contrast, the simpler kernels used in prior kernel testing work are spatially homogeneous, and adaptive only in lengthscale. We explain how this scheme includes popular classifier-based two-sample tests as a special case, but improves on them in general. We provide the first proof of consistency for the proposed adaptation method, which applies both to kernels on deep features and to simpler radial basis kernels or multiple kernel learning. In experiments, we establish the superior performance of our deep kernels in hypothesis testing on benchmark and real-world data. The code of our deep-kernel-based two sample tests is available at https://github.com/fengliu90/DK-for-TST.

description: Stormside Consulting Limited has prepared this report at the request of the University of British Columbia (UBC) as a solution to stormwater management and increasing parking capacities in the Stadium Neighbourhood. The detailed design is a mixed solution including a parkade to suit growing parking needs and a water detention facility to store stormwater runoff and gradually release it back into the stormwater mains to avoid environmental damages. The parkade has been designed under the National Building Code of Canada and Concrete Code to provide sufficient strength to support all stadium attendees and vehicles. The detention tank and drainage network have been designed to effectively store, manage, treat, and release stormwater. Two key objectives of the project are to meet the communities’ new parking demands and to hold the equivalent stormwater runoff from a 1-in-100 year storm. The design solution covers an area 110m by 110m, with a depth of 10m, all underneath the location of the new stadium. The structure is designed with two parking levels with a capacity of 700 parking stalls, including disability parking spaces and electric vehicle charging spaces. The water detention facility beneath the second parking level consists of 3 retention tanks holding a total volume of over 36,300 cubic meters. In addition to the detention tanks a natural dry pond is designed with an area covering 15,000m² at a depth of 1.5m. The design holds water in the detention facility until it is safe to release the treated water back into the city’s sewer network via pumps directing flow to SW Marine Drive. Improving stormwater runoff quality is done through filtration systems with the use of outdoor bio swales. The underground parkade and detention facility have a total project cost of $18,486,000, with implementation planning and construction spanning 7 months beginning February 4th, 2019.

description: We explore an approach to perform indirect simultaneous measurement of a group of Pauli string operators using a minimal amount of overhead physical resources. In this method, Pauli strings are applied to a prepared quantum state as a set of controlled gates, where \(M\) ancillary qubits are used as controls. Measurement consists of sampling the ancilla qubits in the computational basis, then using the measurement statistics to algebraically extract individual expectation values. Given \(M\) ancillary qubits, it is possible to simultaneously measure \(2^M - 1\)anti-commuting Pauli strings.

Generalized Quantum Secret Sharing

description: We explore a generalization of quantum secret sharing (QSS) in which classical shares play a complementary role to quantum shares, exploring further consequences of an idea first studied by Nascimento, Mueller-Quade and Imai (Phys. Rev. {\bf A64} 042311 (2001)). We examine three ways, termed inflation, compression and twin-thresholding, by which the proportion of classical shares can be augmented. This has the important application that it reduces quantum (information processing) players by replacing them with their classical counterparts, thereby making quantum secret sharing considerably easier and less expensive to implement in a practical setting. In compression, a QSS scheme is turned into an equivalent scheme with fewer quantum players, compensated for by suitable classical shares. In inflation, a QSS scheme is enlarged by adding only classical shares and players. In a twin-threshold scheme, we invoke two separate thresholds for classical and quantum shares based on the idea of information dilution.

Role of Bell-CHSH violation and local filtering in quantum key distribution

description: In this article, we analyse the relationship between the Bell violation and the secure key rate of entanglement assisted quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. Specifically, we address the question whether Bell violation is necessary or sufficient for secure communication. We construct a class of states which do not show Bell violation, however, which can be used for secure communication after local filtering. Similarly, we identify another class of states which show Bell violation but can not be used for generating secure key even after local filtering. The existence of these two classes of states demonstrates that Bell violation as an initial resource is neither necessary nor sufficient for QKD. Our work therefore forces a departure from traditional thinking that the degree of Bell violation is a key resource for quantum communication and brings out the role of local filtering.

description: We have conducted multi-epoch synthesis imaging of 2 and 3 millimeter (mm) continuum emission and near infrared K band 2.2 um imaging of a flare event in January 2003 that occurred on the young stellar object GMR-A which is suggested to be a weak-line T Tauri star in the Orion cluster. Our mm data showed that the flare activity lasted at least over 13 days, whereas the K-band magnitude did not change during this event. In addition, we have succeeded in detecting short time variations of flux on the time scales of 15 minutes. The total energy of the flare is estimated to be 10^{35-36} erg, which makes it one of the most energetic flares reported to date. Comparing the mm continuum luminosities with reported X-ray luminosities, we conclude that the mm flare was similar in nature to solar and other stellar flares. Our results will be a crucial step toward understanding magnetically induced stellar surface activities in T Tauri stars.

description: The paper presents a review of the methodological state-of-the-art in interspatial and intertemporal productivity measurement. An overview of productivity and efficiency concepts precedes a technical discussion of the two approaches currently existing in evaluating bilateral and multilateral productivity. The accounting or nonparametric approach, which relies on index number methods, provides measures of relative efficiency based on prices and quantities of outputs and inputs. The selection of a particular index number formula for multilateral comparisons of productivity growth should satisfy a priori axioms. In contrast, if sufficient data are available, the parametric or statistical approach can be used to estimate the production technology and to obtain more diverse comparisons than those from accounting procedures. Both approaches depend on developing comparable data sets, while data requirements are dictated by the amount of disaggregation desired.

description: Possessing the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe, magnetars mark an extremum of physical phenomena. The strength of their magnetic fields is sufficient to deform the shape of the stellar body, and when the rotational and magnetic axes are not aligned, these deformations lead to the production of gravitational waves (GWs) via a time-varying quadrupole moment. Such gravitational radiation differs from signals presently detectable by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. These signals are continuous rather than the momentary 'chirp' waveforms produced by binary systems during the phases of inspiral, merger, and ringdown. We evaluate the sensitivity requirements of future iterations of GW detectors to continuous GW signals resulting from magnetars. Here, we construct a computational model for magnetar stellar structure with strong internal magnetic fields. We implement an n = 1 polytropic equation of state (EOS) and adopt a mixed poloidal and toroidal magnetic field model constrained by the choice of EOS. We utilize fiducial values for magnetar magnetic field strength and various stellar physical attributes. Via computational simulation, we measure the deformation of magnetar stellar structure to determine upper bounds on the strength of continuous GWs formed as a result of these deformations inducing non-axisymmetric rotation. We compute predictions of upper limit GW strain values for sources in the McGill Magnetar Catalog, an index of all detected magnetars.
