New Bayesian tree ensemble model tackles high-dimensional causal survival analysis

Researchers have introduced a new Bayesian tree ensemble model designed for causal survival analysis in high-dimensional settings. This model utilizes a horseshoe prior on step heights to achieve adaptive shrinkage, allowing for flexible regularization and noise reduction. A reversible jump Gibbs sampler was developed to integrate the horseshoe prior within the tree ensemble framework, and simulations demonstrated its effectiveness in accurately estimating treatment effects across various sparsity levels and non-linear functions.

    Horseshoe Forests for High-Dimensional Causal Survival Analysis

    arXiv:2507.22004v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a Bayesian tree ensemble model to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects in censored survival data with high-dimensional covariates. Instead of imposing sparsity through the tree structure, we place a horsesho…
