Augmented transfer regression learning for completely missing covariates
Large-scale population-level datasets, such as the UK Biobank and the All of Us Research Program, often lack covariates needed for a specific analysis, such as genetic or lifestyle measures, while related studies measure them. This creates a cross-population missing data problem in which covariates are completely unobserved in the target population, rather than partially missing within one dataset. We propose an augmented transfer regression learning method for this setting. The key identifying condition is a sub-population shift assumption: the joint distribution of the outcome and observed covariates may differ across source and target populations, but the conditional distribution of the missing covariates given observed variables is invariant. We combine importance-weighted estimating equations with imputation terms for first- and second-order moments of the missing covariates. The resulting estimator is doubly robust, remaining consistent if either the density ratio model or both imputation models are correctly specified. It is $n^{1/2}$-consistent and asymptotically normal, and attains the semiparametric efficiency bound when both nuisance models are correctly specified.

Although a majority of the theoretical literature in high-dimensional statistics has focused on settings which involve fully-observed data, settings with missing values and corruptions are common in practice. We consider…
