在本文中，我们介绍Bayesldm，这是一个用于贝叶斯纵向数据建模的系统，该系统由高级建模语言组成，具有针对复杂的多变量时间序列数据建模的特定功能，并与编译器相结合，可以生成优化的概率程序代码，以在指定模型中执行指定的推理。 Bayesldm支持贝叶斯网络模型的建模，其特定关注动态贝叶斯网络（DBN）的高效，声明性规范。 Bayesldm编译器将模型规范与可用数据和输出代码相结合，用于执行贝叶斯推断，以同时处理丢失的数据，同时处理未知模型参数。这些功能有可能通过抽象产生计算有效的概率推断代码的过程来显着加速域中的迭代建模工作流，这些迭代建模工作流程涉及复杂纵向数据的分析。我们描述了Bayesldm系统组件，评估表示和推理优化的效率，并提供了该系统在分析异质和部分观察到的移动健康数据的应用示例。

In this technical note, we introduce an improved variant of nearest neighbors for counterfactual inference in panel data settings where multiple units are assigned multiple treatments over multiple time points, each sampled with constant probabilities. We call this estimator a doubly robust nearest neighbor estimator and provide a high probability non-asymptotic error bound for the mean parameter corresponding to each unit at each time. Our guarantee shows that the doubly robust estimator provides a (near-)quadratic improvement in the error compared to nearest neighbor estimators analyzed in prior work for these settings.

We consider after-study statistical inference for sequentially designed experiments wherein multiple units are assigned treatments for multiple time points using treatment policies that adapt over time. Our goal is to provide inference guarantees for the counterfactual mean at the smallest possible scale -- mean outcome under different treatments for each unit and each time -- with minimal assumptions on the adaptive treatment policy. Without any structural assumptions on the counterfactual means, this challenging task is infeasible due to more unknowns than observed data points. To make progress, we introduce a latent factor model over the counterfactual means that serves as a non-parametric generalization of the non-linear mixed effects model and the bilinear latent factor model considered in prior works. For estimation, we use a non-parametric method, namely a variant of nearest neighbors, and establish a non-asymptotic high probability error bound for the counterfactual mean for each unit and each time. Under regularity conditions, this bound leads to asymptotically valid confidence intervals for the counterfactual mean as the number of units and time points grows to $\infty$.

我们在无限地平线马尔可夫决策过程中考虑批量（离线）策略学习问题。通过移动健康应用程序的推动，我们专注于学习最大化长期平均奖励的政策。我们为平均奖励提出了一款双重强大估算器，并表明它实现了半导体效率。此外，我们开发了一种优化算法来计算参数化随机策略类中的最佳策略。估计政策的履行是通过政策阶级的最佳平均奖励与估计政策的平均奖励之间的差异来衡量，我们建立了有限样本的遗憾保证。通过模拟研究和促进体育活动的移动健康研究的分析来说明该方法的性能。
