We propose a latent factor interaction model for networks measured with error, and a variable importance metric for latent models. We use the model to address the geographic and taxonomic bias of ecological studies of species' interactions, and identify the important bird and plant covariates for forming and detecting interactions.
We introduce a framework for estimating causal effects of binary and continuous treatments in high dimensions. We show how posterior distributions of treatment and outcome models can be used together with doubly robust estimators. We propose an …
