SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Issues of Nonstandard Inference in Measurement Error Models
DESCRIPTION:Models with errors-in-variables (EIV) often employ instrumental variable approaches to remove the EIV bias. This paper points out that in such models the issue of nonstandard inference can arise even when the instruments are strong. Moreover\, this occurs at very important points of parameter space\; for instance\, when the coefficient on the mismeasured regressor in a nonlinear regression is close to zero. The root of the problem is weak identification of the nuisance parameters\, such as the distribution of the measurement error or control variable. These parameters are weakly identified when the mismeasured variable has small effect on the outcomes. As a result\, the estimators of the parameters of interest generally are not asymptotically normal and the standard tests and confidence sets can be invalid. We illustrate how this issue arises in several estimation approaches. This complication can be particularly problematic when the nuisance parameters are infinite-dimensional.\n\n     Making use of the specific structure of the EIV problem\, the paper proposes simple approaches to conducting uniformly valid inference about the parameter of interest. The highlevel conditions are illustrated by a detailed analysis of a semiparametric approach to EIV in the general moment condition settings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Aerospace Chairs Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Giusy Falcone\, Ph.D.\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University\n\nAbstract:\nToday\, the space industry is booming with exciting additions. However\, the more ambitious the mission goals and the farther exploration takes us from Earth\, the more ingenious\, cost-effective\, and safe solutions need to be engineered to enable such missions. To handle the increasing complexity\, the next generation of space missions will require autonomous human-level decision-making in highly unknown or perturbed environments. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present the prospects and challenges for developing autonomous and robotics systems that can dynamically evolve and modify with the environment. The talk will highlight how the system-level impact of autonomy integration and its combination with optimal control allows for an intelligent\, dynamic\, autonomous system capable of making rational decisions that consider both the safety and performance of the specific executed operations and the overall performance of the mission. \n\nThis approach is used to advance aerobraking\, an atmospheric process used to slow down and insert a spacecraft into a low orbit around a planet\, showing dramatic advancement in flight performance\, risk\, and cost. Finally\, a generalization of the findings is presented in terms of necessary improvements for designing environment-aware decision-making algorithms\, and the opportunities autonomy will provide for the next generation of space missions.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Giusy Falcone is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. She works on trajectory optimization for space applications in the RExLab group under the guidance of Prof. Zachary Manchester. In May 2022\, she earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of Prof. Zachary Putnam. Her expertise lies in hypersonic and space systems\; space guidance\, navigation\, and control\; flight mechanics\; mission design\; trajectory optimization\; artificial intelligence\; and autonomous systems. Her research explores innovative techniques to enable low-cost\, autonomous space missions capable of reasoning and reacting safely in a changing environment. She is the recipient of the 2022 AIAA Intelligent Systems Best Paper Award for her work in Autonomous Aerobraking Maneuver Planning using Deep Reinforcement Learning. She is also one of the selected participants of the 2022 Rising Stars in Aerospace (RSIA) Symposium and the Keck Institute for Space Studies Workshop “Revolutionizing Access to the Martian Surface.” In addition\, Dr. Falcone is one of the recipients of several fellowships\, including the Mavis Future Faculty Fellowship\, the Graduate Student Service Award\, the Robert Beatty Fellowship\, and the Aerospace Engineering Alumni Advisory Board Fellowship.

Sign up for the GISC Newsletter here! We send out a monthly newsletter in collaboration with the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, and the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum.\n   \n   Join our Email newsletter: https://myumi.ch/nbW83\n   \n   Islamic Studies Minor: https://myumi.ch/R5YnQ\n   Email islamicstudies@umich.edu\n   \n   Are you a student looking for funding?\n   Graduate Funding Opportunities: https://bit.ly/GISCGradFunding\n   Undergrad Funding Opportunities: https://bit.ly/GISCUndergradFunding\n   \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at islamicstudies@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help. As you may know\, some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange\, so the sooner you can reach out to us the better.
