PPI++ Quantile Estimation (Point Estimate)

Helper function for PPI++ quantile estimation (point estimate)

Usage

ppi_plusplus_quantile_est(
  Y_l,
  f_l,
  f_u,
  q,
  exact_grid = FALSE,
  w_l = NULL,
  w_u = NULL
)

Arguments

Y_l

(vector): n-vector of labeled outcomes.

f_l

(vector): n-vector of predictions in the labeled data.

f_u

(vector): N-vector of predictions in the unlabeled data.

q

(float): Quantile to estimate. Must be in the range (0, 1).

exact_grid

(bool, optional): Whether to compute the exact solution (TRUE) or an approximate solution based on a linearly spaced grid of 5000 values (FALSE).

w_l

(ndarray, optional): Sample weights for the labeled data set. Defaults to a vector of ones.

w_u

(ndarray, optional): Sample weights for the unlabeled data set. Defaults to a vector of ones.

Value

(float): Prediction-powered point estimate of the quantile.
