POP-Inf

This repository hosts the R package that implements the POP-Inf method described in the paper: Assumption-lean and data-adaptive post-prediction inference.

POP-Inf provides valid and powerful inference based on ML predictions for parameters defined through estimation equations.

Installation

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("qlu-lab/POPInf")

Useful examples

Here are examples of POP-Inf for M-estimation tasks including: mean estimation, linear regression, logistic regression, and Poisson regrssion. The main function is pop_M(), where the argument method indicates which task to do.

# Load the package
library(POPInf)

# Load the simulated data
set.seed(999)
data <- sim_data()
X_lab = data$X_lab ## Covariates in the labeled data
X_unlab = data$X_unlab ## Covariates in the unlabeled data
Y_lab = data$Y_lab ## Observed outcome in the labeled data
Yhat_lab = data$Yhat_lab ## Predicted outcome in the labeled data
Yhat_unlab = data$Yhat_unlab ## Predicted outcome in the unlabeled data

Mean estimation

# Run POP-Inf mean estimation
fit_mean <- pop_M(Y_lab = Y_lab, Yhat_lab = Yhat_lab, Yhat_unlab = Yhat_unlab,
                  alpha = 0.05, method = "mean")

print(fit_mean)

#   Estimate  Std.Error Lower.CI Upper.CI       P.value    Weight

Linear regression

# Run POP-Inf linear regression
fit_ols <- pop_M(X_lab = X_lab, X_unlab = X_unlab,
           Y_lab = Y_lab, Yhat_lab = Yhat_lab, Yhat_unlab = Yhat_unlab,
           alpha = 0.05, method = "ols")

print(fit_ols)

Logistic regression

# Load the simulated data
set.seed(999)
data <- sim_data(binary = T)
X_lab = data$X_lab
X_unlab = data$X_unlab
Y_lab = data$Y_lab
Yhat_lab = data$Yhat_lab
Yhat_unlab = data$Yhat_unlab

# Run POP-Inf logistic regression
fit_logistic <- pop_M(X_lab = X_lab, X_unlab = X_unlab,
                      Y_lab = Y_lab, Yhat_lab = Yhat_lab, Yhat_unlab = Yhat_unlab,
                      alpha = 0.05, method = "logistic")

print(fit_logistic)

Poisson regression

# Load the simulated data
set.seed(999)
data <- sim_data()
X_lab = data$X_lab
X_unlab = data$X_unlab
Y_lab = round(data$Y_lab - min(data$Y_lab))
Yhat_lab = round(data$Yhat_lab - min(data$Yhat_lab))
Yhat_unlab = round(data$Yhat_unlab - min(Yhat_unlab))

# Run POP-Inf Poisson regression
fit_poisson <- pop_M(X_lab = X_lab, X_unlab = X_unlab,
                     Y_lab = Y_lab, Yhat_lab = Yhat_lab, Yhat_unlab = Yhat_unlab,
                     alpha = 0.05, method = "poisson")

print(fit_poisson)

#     Estimate  Std.Error  Lower.CI  Upper.CI      P.value    Weight
