abstract

We provide a general mathematical framework for selective inference with supervised model selection procedures characterized by quadratic forms in the outcome variable. Forward stepwise with groups of variables is an important special case as it allows models with categorical variables or factors. Models can be chosen by AIC, BIC, or a fixed number of steps. We provide an exact significance test for each group of variables in the selected model based on an appropriately truncated $\chi$ or $F$ distribution for the cases of known and unknown $\sigma^2$ respectively. An efficient software implementation is available as a package in the R statistical programming language.

  1. Selective inference is easier with p-values

    stat.ME 2024-11 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A p-value whose null density is non-decreasing remains valid after arbitrary data-dependent selection, and all standard p-values satisfy this condition.

  2. Change Point Detection in the Frequency Domain with Statistical Reliability

    stat.ML 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors extend selective inference to frequency-domain change point detection, yielding valid p-values for changes that appear across multiple frequencies.

  3. Statistical Inference for Sequential Feature Selection after Domain Adaptation

    stat.ML 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A selective-inference method, SI-SeqFS-DA, computes valid p-values for sequential feature selection after optimal-transport domain adaptation, with false positive rate controlled at the nominal level.
