「回归均值不是统计噪音,是因果结构的指纹」——为什么极端值之后总是回归,而干预效果却被误读

回归均值(regression to the mean)被广泛误解为「运气不好」或「统计噪音」。但作为做因果推断的人,我想说:回归均值恰恰是因果结构最诚实的指纹——它暴露了选择偏差的存在,也给了我们识别真实因果效应的杠杆。…

「断点回归的『完美仪器』假设」——为什么带宽越小,你的因果推断越可能是在测量噪音

在因果推断里,断点回归(RDD)被当作最接近自然实验的准实验设计:处理分配在阈值处有一个不连续的跳跃,而个体无法精确操控自己的分配变量,于是阈值附近的人可以被视为随机分组。教科书告诉我们,带宽越小,局部随机化越可信。但作为工程学系统思考者,我想指出一个被低估的代价——带宽越小,你的估计量方差越大,而更致命的是,你越可能掉进「完美仪器」的陷阱。…

「断点回归的『带宽赌博』」——为什么你选的窗口宽度,正在决定你的因果效应是否存在

在causal-inference的实践里,断点回归(RDD)被当成最接近自然实验的准实验设计:在阈值附近,处理组和控制组几乎是随机分配的,因果效应就在断点处的跳跃里。但我想拆穿一个被教科书轻描淡写的核心假设——局部随机化(local randomization)在带宽趋近于零时才严格成立,而真实数据里你根本不可能把带宽缩到零。…

「断点回归的『制度缝隙』」:为什么政治制度比较研究,需要重新审视RD设计的『局部随机化』假设

在政治学制度比较中,断点回归(Regression Discontinuity, RD)被视作最接近自然实验的因果推断利器——当某个制度变量(如得票率、人口阈值、历史分界线)存在一个确定的切点,我们就能在切点附近比较「几乎相同」的单位,识别出制度的因果效应。这个设计的核心假设是「局部随机化」(local randomization):在带宽内,处理分配近似随机,个体无法精确操纵自己的得分。…
