In many cases, however, these causal effects are not known to the decision makers and need to be estimated from data. This fundamental problem has been known and studied for many years in many disciplines. In the past thirty years, however, the amount of empirical as well as methodological research in this area has increased dramatically, and so has its scope. It has become more interdisciplinary, and the focus has been more specifically on methods for credibly estimating causal effects in a wide range of both experimental and observational settings. This work has greatly impacted empirical work in the social and biomedical sciences. In this article, I review some of this work and discuss open questions.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

Conventional centralized methods—those in which all datasets are stored and processed in a central computing facility—are not applicable in practice. Therefore, it has become necessary to develop distributed learning approaches that have good inference or predictive accuracy while remaining free of individual data or obeying policies and regulations to protect privacy. In this article, we introduce the basic idea of distributed learning and conduct a selected review on various distributed learning methods, which are categorized by their statistical accuracy, computational efficiency, heterogeneity, and privacy. This categorization can help evaluate newly proposed methods from different aspects. Moreover, we provide up-to-date descriptions of the existing theoretical results that cover statistical equivalency and computational efficiency under different statistical learning frameworks. Finally, we provide existing software implementations and benchmark datasets, and we discuss future research opportunities.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

We start from a brief discussion of cosmological questions and motivations, arguing that most cosmological observables are spherical random fields. Then, we introduce some mathematical background on spherical random fields, including spectral representations and the construction of needlet and wavelet frames. We then focus on some specific issues, including tools and algorithms for map reconstruction (i.e., separating the different physical components that contribute to the observed field), geometric tools for testing the assumptions of Gaussianity and isotropy, and multiple testing methods to detect contamination in the field due to point sources. Although these tools are introduced in the cosmological context, they can be applied to other situations dealing with spherical data. Finally, we discuss more recent and challenging issues, such as the analysis of polarization data, which can be viewed as realizations of random fields taking values in spin fiber bundles.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

To assess flood risk for a catchment area, hydrologists use models that require long series of subdaily, perhaps even subhourly, rainfall data, ideally from locations that cover the area. If historical data are not sufficient for this purpose, an alternative is to simulate synthetic data from a suitably calibrated model. We review stochastic models that have a mechanistic structure, intended to mimic physical features of the rainfall processes, and are constructed using stationary point processes. We describe models for temporal and spatial-temporal rainfall and consider how they can be fitted to data. We provide an example application using a temporal model and an illustration of data simulated from a spatial-temporal model. We discuss how these models can contribute to the simulation of future rainfall that reflects our changing climate.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

By enabling comprehensive profiling of these invisible creatures, modern genomic sequencing tools have given us an unprecedented ability to characterize these populations and uncover their outsize impact on our environment and health. Statistical analysis of microbiome data is critical to infer patterns from the observed abundances. The application and development of analytical methods in this area require careful consideration of the unique aspects of microbiome profiles. We begin this review with a brief overview of microbiome data collection and processing and describe the resulting data structure. We then provide an overview of statistical methods for key tasks in microbiome data analysis, including data visualization, comparison of microbial abundance across groups, regression modeling, and network inference.

However, during such events, misinformation can spread rapidly on social media, affecting decision-making and creating social unrest. Identifying and curtailing the spread of misinformation during high-impact events are significant data challenges given the scarcity and variety of the data, the speed by which misinformation can propagate, and the fairness aspects associated with this societal problem. Recent statistical machine learning advances have shown promise for misinformation detection; however, key limitations still make this a significant challenge. These limitations relate to using representative and bias-free multimodal data and to the explainability, fairness, and reliable performance of a system that detects misinformation. In this article, we critically discuss the current state-of-the-art approaches that attempt to respond to these complex requirements and present major unsolved issues; future research directions; and the synergies among statistics, data science, and other sciences for detecting misinformation.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.

These inputs can be unlikely, physically impossible, or even logically impossible. As a result, the predictions for such cases can be based on data very unlike any the black box was trained on. We think that users cannot trust an explanation of the decision of a prediction algorithm when the explanation uses such values. Instead, we advocate a method called cohort Shapley, which is grounded in economic game theory and uses only actually observed data to quantify variable importance. Cohort Shapley works by narrowing the cohort of observations judged to be similar to a target observation on one or more features. We illustrate it on an algorithmic fairness problem where it is essential to attribute importance to protected variables that the model was not trained on.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, Volume 11 is March 2024.
