SUMMARY:Fusion Learning: Combine Inferences From Diverse Data Sources of Heterogenous Data
DESCRIPTION:The UCI Department of Statistics is proud to present Regina Liu\, Distinguished Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Rutgers University. Please join us in DBH 6011 for this live talk and discussion. Off-campus community may join via Zoom. \nAbstract:Advanced data collection technology nowadays often makes inferences from diverse data sources easily accessible. Fusion learning refers to combining inferences from multiple sources or studies to make more effective inference than from any individual source or study alone. We focus on the tasks: 1) Whether/When to combine inferences? 2) How to combine inferences efficiently if you need to?\nWe present a general framework for nonparametric and efficient fusion learning for inference on multi-parameters\, which may be correlated. The main tool underlying this framework is the new notion of depth confidence distribution (depth-CD)\, which is developed by combining data depth\, bootstrap and confidence distributions. We show that a depth-CD is an omnibus form of confidence regions\, whose contours of level sets shrink toward the true parameter value\, and thus an all-encompassing inferential tool. The approach is shown to be efficient\, general and robust. Specifically\, it achieves high- order accuracy and Bahadur efficiency under suitably chosen combining elements. It readily applies to heterogeneous studies with a broad range of complex and irregular settings. This property also enables the approach to utilize indirect evidence from incomplete studies to gain efficiency for the overall inference.\nThis is joint work with Dungan Liu of University of Cincinnati and Minge Xie of Rutgers University.
