From 119db85403ae24f1ec605d3be69d90f5fb52b916 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 16:48:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?sun=5Fabraham:=20thread=20vcov=5Ftype=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=88=88=20{classical,=20hc1,=20hc2,=20hc2=5Fbm}=20(Phase=201b?= =?UTF-8?q?=201/8)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds `vcov_type` parameter to `SunAbraham`, mirroring the DiD/MPD/TWFE chain from Phase 1a. Defaults to "hc1" (preserves prior bit-equal behavior - SA historically hard-coded HC1). First PR of Phase 1b, which threads `vcov_type` through the 8 standalone estimators that expose `cluster=` but not yet `vcov_type=`. Methodology: when `vcov_type ∈ {classical, hc2, hc2_bm}`, `_fit_saturated_regression` auto-routes to a full-dummy saturated design (intercept + cohort × event-time interactions + unit dummies + time dummies). FWL preserves cohort coefficients but not the hat matrix, so HC2 leverage and Bell-McCaffrey DOF must be computed on the full FE projection. Mirrors TWFE Gate 1 from PR #469. Empirically matches `lm() + sandwich::vcovHC(type="HC2")` and `clubSandwich::vcovCR(..., type="CR2") + coef_test()$df_Satt` at atol=1e-10 (pinned in tests/test_methodology_sun_abraham.py). Scope limits: replicate-weight survey + hc2/hc2_bm raises NotImplementedError (per-replicate full-dummy refit not implemented). `vcov_type="conley"` rejected at __init__ with a deferral message (threading conley_* params is a follow-up). Auto-cluster-at-unit is dropped when the user opts into explicit `vcov_type="hc2"` or `"classical"` (both one-way only); preserved for `"hc1"` and `"hc2_bm"`. Documented deviation from R: SA's within-transform HC1 SE differs from `fixest::sunab()` by ~1-2% on typical panel sizes (different (n-k) finite-sample correction). The IW aggregation is otherwise identical; parity at atol=5e-3. Test surface: 15 new behavioral tests in test_sun_abraham.py covering default-vs-explicit bit-equality, all four vcov_type values finite-and-distinct, auto-cluster drop/preserve, replicate-weight reject, get_params/set_params, clone+repeat-fit idempotence, invalid value rejection, cluster_var=None cascade through survey-PSU injection, full-dummy vs within-transform HC2 divergence. 4 new R-parity tests in test_methodology_sun_abraham.py against sandwich/clubSandwich/fixest goldens. New R golden scenario `sun_abraham_two_cohort` in benchmarks/data/clubsandwich_cr2_golden.json (5 cohorts × 8 periods panel; pins classical_se, hc2_se, cr2_bm_singleton_se+dof, cr2_bm_unit_se+dof, sunab_hc1_event_study_e0_se).

Use `vcov_type="hc1"` (default) for survey designs. `conley` rejected at `__init__` with a deferral message (would require threading 6+ `conley_*` params through the saturated regression call). **Deviation from R:** SA's within-transform HC1 SE differs from `fixest::sunab()` by ~1-2% (~2e-3 absolute) on typical panel sizes due to a different `(n-k)` finite-sample correction (fixest counts absorbed FE in k_total; SA's `solve_ols` counts only within-transformed columns); the IW aggregation step is otherwise identical (pinned at atol=5e-3, tracked in TODO.md). First PR of the Phase 1b standalone-estimator threading initiative (7 PRs to follow: StackedDiD, WooldridgeDiD-OLS, CallawaySantAnna, ImputationDiD, TripleDifference, TwoStageDiD, EfficientDiD). - **PreTrendsPower R `pretrends` parity goldens (PR-C closes PR-B's deferred R-parity row).** JSON goldens at `benchmarks/data/r_pretrends_golden.json` generated from the committed `benchmarks/R/generate_pretrends_golden.R` script against `jonathandroth/pretrends` commit `122731d082` (package version 0.1.0, R 4.5.2). 4 fixtures cover regular K=3 grid (`uniform_3_pre_periods_no_anticipation`), irregular K=3 grid `[-5,-3,-1]` (`irregular_pre_periods` — locks the PR-B Step 4 γ-unit linear-weight fix), anticipation-shifted K=4 grid (`anticipation_shifted`), and K=1 closed form (`single_pre_period_closed_form` — Roth Proposition 2 univariate truncated-normal). `TestPretrendsParityR` in `tests/test_methodology_pretrends.py` now active (4 tests): NIS power vs R `pretrends::pretrends()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 4 γ values; γ_p MDV vs R `slope_for_power()` at `atol=1e-4` across all 4 fixtures × 2 target_power values; end-to-end `fit()` on irregular grid vs R γ_p at `atol=1e-4` (locks the full `fit() → _extract_pre_period_params → _get_violation_weights → _compute_mdv_nis` chain through the public API); K=1 three-way cross-check (Python ≡ analytical truncated-normal closed form `1 - Φ(z - γ/σ) + Φ(-z - γ/σ)` at `atol=1e-7`; both within `atol=1e-4` of R). Tolerance rationale: R hardcodes `thresholdTstat.Pretest=1.96` while Python uses `scipy.stats.norm.ppf(0.975) = 1.959963984540054` (`dz ≈ 3.6e-5`); R `slope_for_power` uses `uniroot(tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25 ≈ 1.22e-4)` versus Python `brentq(xtol=2e-12)`; the inverse-solver tolerance gap dominates γ_p, and `mvtnorm::pmvnorm` (R) vs `scipy.stats.multivariate_normal.cdf` (Python) Genz-Bretz randomized-lattice differences bound the K=4 NIS power gap at ~5e-5. `METHODOLOGY_REVIEW.md` PreTrendsPower row promoted `**Complete** (R parity pending)` → `**Complete**`. Roth (2022) paper review's `R \`pretrends\` package version pin (provisional)` Gaps bullet struck. Closes the PR-C TODO row. - **`SpilloverDiD(survey_design=...)` integration on HC1 / CR1 paths via Binder TSL (Wave E.1).** Lifts the Wave B/C/D upfront `NotImplementedError` and adds design-based variance for `vcov_type ∈ {"hc1"}` plus `cluster=` (CR1). **Documented synthesis** of Gerber (2026, arXiv:2605.04124) Proposition 1 — Binder Taylor Series Linearization for IF representations of smooth functionals; explicitly derived for TwoStageDiD in the paper's Appendix — composed with the Wave D Gardner GMM first-stage uncertainty correction (Butts 2021 §3.1 + Gardner 2022 §4) applied to SpilloverDiD's ring-indicator stage-2 design. No reference software combines all ingredients. **Mechanical composition:** SpilloverDiD's per-obs Wave D IF `psi_i = gamma_hat' * X_{10,i} * eps_{10,i} - X_{2,i} * eps_{2,i}` (with survey weights threaded through `gamma_hat` solve, eps construction, and bread inversion via Hájek normalization) is aggregated to PSU totals and passed to the audited `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` Binder TSL meat helper. Stage-1 FE estimation extends `_iterative_fe_subset` with a `weights=` kwarg implementing WLS-FE via weighted bincount (numerator `bincount(w*resid)` / denominator `bincount(w)`); the `weights is None` path is bit-identical to the Wave B / C / D unweighted bincount. **Degrees of freedom:** t-distribution lookup uses `ResolvedSurveyDesign.df_survey` (4-way branch: PSU+strata → `n_PSU - n_strata`; PSU only → `n_PSU - 1`; strata only → `n_obs - n_strata`; neither → `n_obs - 1`), threaded through all four `safe_inference` call sites (aggregate `tau_total`, per-ring `delta_j`, event-study per-event-time `tau_k` / `delta_jk`, scalar `att` lincom). **Survey-array subsetting:** when `finite_mask` drops baseline-treated rows, `survey_weights` and `ResolvedSurveyDesign.{weights, strata, psu, fpc, replicate_weights}` are subsetted in parallel; `n_psu`, `n_strata`, and `survey_metadata` are recomputed (mirrors `TwoStageDiD.fit:567-601`). **Cluster + survey resolution:** when `cluster=` and `survey_design.psu` are both supplied with different groupings, a `UserWarning` fires and PSU wins (mirrors `_resolve_effective_cluster` at `survey.py:1253-1275`; TwoStageDiD parity). When `cluster=` is supplied without `survey_design.psu`, the cluster column is injected as the effective PSU via `_inject_cluster_as_psu`, which now honors `SurveyDesign.nest`: under `nest=False`, cluster labels must be globally unique across strata (raises if they repeat, matching the explicit-PSU resolver's contract). **Saturated `df_survey = 0` NaN-fail:** when `lonely_psu="remove"` removes all strata (singleton PSUs), the meat helper returns `(_, var_computed=False, legit_zero=0)` and SpilloverDiD's Wave E.1 path returns NaN meat with a `UserWarning` matching `"df_survey"` so callers can `pytest.warns(UserWarning, match="df_survey")`. This is a **departure from TwoStageDiD** (`two_stage.py:2003-2005`) which currently NaN-fails SILENTLY; Wave E.1 surfaces the diagnostic per `feedback_no_silent_failures`. **Subpopulation limitation (Wave E.3 follow-up):** `SurveyDesign.subpopulation()`-derived designs with zero-weight padding rows that lose stage-1 FE support have those rows physically removed by `finite_mask`, so `n_psu` / `df_survey` / Binder centering reflect the reduced fit sample rather than the full domain design (documented in REGISTRY; Wave E.3 will preserve full-design bookkeeping). **Public surface restrictions:** `vcov_type="conley" + survey_design=` raises `NotImplementedError` pointing at planned Wave E.2 (Conley × survey product-kernel synthesis with within-stratum Conley sandwich on PSU totals); replicate-weight variance (BRR / Fay / JK1 / JKn / SDR) raises `NotImplementedError` — per Gerber (2026) Appendix A, the IF-reweighting shortcut does not apply to TwoStageDiD-class estimators because `gamma_hat` is weight-sensitive; correct support requires per-replicate full re-fit and is queued as a follow-up; non-pweight (`weight_type ∈ {"fweight", "aweight"}`) raises `ValueError` (the Binder TSL assumes probability weights). **Implementation:** `_compute_gmm_corrected_meat` extended with `survey_weights` + `resolved_survey` kwargs at `diff_diff/two_stage.py:56` (TYPE_CHECKING forward reference for `ResolvedSurveyDesign` to avoid circular import); new module-level helper `_compute_binder_tsl_meat` at `diff_diff/two_stage.py` wraps `_compute_stratified_meat_from_psu_scores` with implicit per-obs PSU synthesis for no-PSU survey designs + the Wave E.1 NaN-fail + warning; `_iterative_fe_subset` weighted path at `diff_diff/spillover.py:1382` (in-place extension, bit-identical fallback, positive-weight identification gate); `_inject_cluster_as_psu` honors `nest` (shared survey-helper fix that also benefits TwoStageDiD); `ResolvedSurveyDesign` gains a `nest` field propagated through all 5 construction sites. `SpilloverDiDResults` extended with `survey_metadata`, `n_psu`, `n_strata` fields at `diff_diff/results.py`. **Tests:** new `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignHc1` (17 tests: bit-identity fallback, Binder TSL hand-check uniform + non-uniform weights, lonely_psu modes, FPC degenerate limits ×3, saturated NaN-fail with `pytest.warns(match="df_survey")`, cluster+survey warn-and-use-PSU, no-PSU regressions (weights-only, weights+strata, cluster-without-PSU, cluster overlap with nest=False/True), zero-weight Omega_0 exclusion + all-zero raises, replicate-weight + non-pweight + Conley+survey rejections, fit idempotency, finite_mask subsetting) and `TestSpilloverDiDWaveE1SurveyDesignEventStudy` (7 tests: event-study + survey on both `is_staggered` branches with `df_survey` lincom verification, distinguishability between survey-share and sample-share lincom rules via manual reconstruction with cohort-correlated weights + non-constant tau_k, aggregate-vs-event-study parity, drift goldens, subset-path invariant).
