ERC Advanced Grant · 2023
I propose a cutting-edge and transformative paradigm for statistical modelling that is crucial to enhance the quality of data analyses. Leveraging my expertise in causal inference and semiparametric statistics, I will establish the fundamental principles of a comprehensive estimation theory, which maps model parameters onto generic, interpretable, model-free estimands (e.g., association or effect measures) with favourable efficiency bound, and harnesses the power of debiased (statistical/machine) learning techniques to estimate these. My core objective is to develop a flexible and accessible data modelling framework, called ‘assumption-lean modelling’. This framework will deliver minimal…
