Kernel-weighted specification testing under general distributions
Kernel-weighted test statistics have been widely used in a variety of settings including non-stationary regression, inference on propensity score and panel data models. We develop the limit theory for a kernel-based specification test of a parametric conditional mean when the law of the regressors may not be absolutely continuous to the Lebesgue measure and is contaminated with singular components. This result is of independent interest and may be useful in other applications that utilize kernel smoothed U-statistics. Simulations illustrate the non-trivial impact of the distribution of the conditioning variables on the power properties of the test statistic.

Kernel weighted importance sampling for off-policy evaluation in contextual bandits
This article presents a novel estimator for performing off-policy evaluation using only offline data for contextual bandits. The proposed estimator, Kernel-WIS is demonstrated to be asymptotically consistent and to empir…
MMD-FUSE: Learning and Combining Kernels for Two-Sample Testing Without Data Splitting
We propose novel statistics which maximise the power of a two-sample test based on the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), by adapting over the set of kernels used in defining it. For finite sets, this reduces to combining (…
Two-sample testingOptimal Estimation of Generalized Average Treatment Effects using Kernel Optimal Matching
In causal inference, a variety of causal effect estimands have been studied, including the sample, uncensored, target, conditional, optimal subpopulation, and optimal weighted average treatment effects. Ad-hoc methods ha…

Throughout the past few years, various transmission system operators (TSOs) and research institutes have defined several functional specifications for grid-forming (GFM) converters via grid codes, white papers, and techn…
Double-Weighting for Covariate Shift Adaptation
Supervised learning is often affected by a covariate shift in which the marginal distributions of instances (covariates $x$) of training and testing samples $\mathrm{p}_\text{tr}(x)$ and $\mathrm{p}_\text{te}(x)$ are dif…
