Generalized Data Thinning Using Sufficient Statistics

Date:

Time: 
3:00 - 4:00pm
Place: 
MH-2700 & via Zoom

Sample splitting is one of the most tried-and-true tools in the data scientist toolbox. A recent paper (Neufeld, et al. 2023) provided a remarkable alternative, which the authors showed to be attractive in situations where sample splitting is not possible. In this talk, we will show that sufficiency is the key underlying principle that makes their approach possible, and based on this observation we introduce a generalization that greatly widens the scope of applicability.
