From 86d503fb9959c9b80e30509c8a4f450d15a152fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igerber Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 20:01:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/16] Add weighted Frank-Wolfe kernel with per-unit regularization weights MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Foundation for restoring SDID survey-bootstrap support (PR #352, follow-up to #351 which front-door rejected all survey designs). This commit adds the weighted-FW kernel + Python wrappers; the bootstrap integration lands in the next commit. Rust (rust/src/weights.rs, rust/src/lib.rs): - New `sc_weight_fw_gram_weighted` and `sc_weight_fw_standard_weighted` loop variants. Identical to the unweighted loops except for the regularization term: `half_grad[j]` picks up `eta*reg_w[j]*lam[j]` in place of `eta*lam[j]`, and the FW step-size denominator uses the diag(reg_w)-weighted simplex direction norm `Σ_j reg_w[j]*d[j]²` (which simplifies to `Σ_j reg_w[j]*lam[j]² + reg_w[i] - 2*reg_w[i]*lam[i]` for d = e_i - lam). - New `sc_weight_fw_weighted_internal` dispatcher that delegates to the unweighted internal when reg_weights is None (preserves the legacy numeric contract for any future caller that wants the generic shape). - Two new pyfunctions: `sc_weight_fw_weighted` and `sc_weight_fw_weighted_with_convergence`. Same call shape as the existing unweighted siblings plus a trailing `reg_weights` kwarg. Registered in lib.rs. - 3 new Rust unit tests in rust/src/weights.rs: * test_weighted_fw_reg_weights_none_delegates — bit-identity at rel=1e-14 against the unweighted internal. * test_weighted_fw_uniform_reg_weights_matches_unweighted — uniform rw=1 collapses to uniform regularization (rel=1e-12, allowing for ULP-scale drift from different float reduction orders). * test_weighted_fw_simplex_invariants — for arbitrary positive rw and both gram (T0=N) paths, returned ω sums to 1 and is non-negative. Python (diff_diff/utils.py, diff_diff/_backend.py): - Export _rust_sc_weight_fw_weighted and _with_convergence from _backend (mirrors the shape added for _rust_sc_weight_fw_with_convergence in PR #351 c0d089b). - Extend `_sc_weight_fw` and `_sc_weight_fw_numpy` with a `reg_weights: Optional[np.ndarray] = None` kwarg. When set on the Rust path, dispatches to the new weighted pyfunctions; on the pure-Python path, runs a weighted FW loop mirroring the Rust derivation. - New helper `compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey(Y_pre_control, Y_pre_treated_mean, rw_control, ...)`: column-scales Y_pre_control by rw_control and passes rw_control as reg_weights so the FW solves the unit-weight survey-bootstrap objective min_{ω simplex} Σ_t (Σ_i rw_i·ω_i·Y_i,pre[t] - treated_pre[t])² + ζ²·Σ_i rw_i·ω_i² Two-pass sparsify-refit structure mirrors compute_sdid_unit_weights. Returns ω on the standard simplex (caller composes ω_eff downstream). - New helper `compute_time_weights_survey(Y_pre_control, Y_post_control, rw_control, ...)`: row-scales Y_time by sqrt(rw_control) and passes no reg_weights (uniform reg on λ — λ is per-period, rw is per-control, no alignment for per-λ weighting). Two-pass structure unchanged. - Both new helpers expose `return_convergence=True` returning the AND of the two pass convergence flags, mirroring the contract added in PR #351 c0d089b. Tests (tests/test_weighted_fw.py — new, 15 tests): - _sc_weight_fw weighted-reg path: reg_weights=None matches unweighted at bit-identity; uniform reg matches unweighted at rel=1e-12; Rust/numpy parity at rel=1e-9; simplex invariants under arbitrary rw; return_convergence tuple shape. - compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey: uniform-rw equivalence to unweighted helper, simplex invariants under arbitrary rw, shape-mismatch raises, return_convergence AND. - compute_time_weights_survey: same coverage matrix, plus a zero-rw subset test (Rao-Wu-style undrawn PSU yields valid simplex λ). - Backend parity: pure-Python vs Rust weighted-helper output at rel=1e-7 for both unit and time helpers (monkeypatches HAS_RUST_BACKEND). ABI preservation: existing unweighted callers of _sc_weight_fw, compute_sdid_unit_weights, compute_time_weights are unaffected — the new kwarg defaults to None and dispatches to the legacy code path. The bit-identity check on TestScaleEquivariance::test_baseline_parity_small _scale[bootstrap] still passes at rel=1e-14 (verified in the next commit when the bootstrap integration lands).

Pweight-only and full-design surveys now both succeed; placebo / jackknife continue to reject full designs (a separate methodology gap tracked in TODO.md). `diff_diff/synthetic_did.py::fit` (guards): - Replace the unconditional strata/PSU/FPC NotImpl guard with a method- gated version that fires only for placebo / jackknife. Rationale + truth-table in REGISTRY.md §SyntheticDiD survey-support matrix: method pweight-only strata/PSU/FPC bootstrap ✓ (this PR) ✓ Rao-Wu (this PR) placebo ✓ unchanged ✗ NotImpl (separate gap) jackknife ✓ unchanged ✗ NotImpl (separate gap) - Delete the unconditional `bootstrap + any-survey` guard added in #351. Keep the `weight_type != "pweight"` validation (fweight/aweight still rejected). `diff_diff/synthetic_did.py::fit` (survey resolution): - After validating the per-unit survey weights (`w_treated`, `w_control`), also collapse the observation-level `resolved_survey` to a unit-level view via `collapse_survey_to_unit_level(...)` ordered as `[*control_units, *treated_units]`. The resulting `resolved_survey_unit` is what `_bootstrap_se` slices via `boot_rw[:n_control]` / `boot_rw[n_control:]` per Rao-Wu draw. `diff_diff/synthetic_did.py::fit` (dispatcher): - Branch the bootstrap call on whether the design is pweight-only or full design (strata/PSU/FPC). Pass `w_control`/`w_treated` for pweight-only, `resolved_survey=resolved_survey_unit` for full design, None/None for non-survey. `diff_diff/synthetic_did.py::_bootstrap_se`: - New kwargs: `w_control`, `w_treated`, `resolved_survey` (all keyword- only, default None — preserves the legacy signature). - Single-PSU short-circuit: unstratified survey with <2 PSUs returns (NaN, []) since the bootstrap distribution is unidentified (resampling one PSU yields the same subset every draw). Recovered from the pre-PR-#351 fixed-weight Rao-Wu branch (commit 91082e5). - Per-draw Rao-Wu rescaling for full designs: ``rw = generate_rao_wu_weights(resolved_survey, rng)`` sliced over the resampled units. Pweight-only path uses ``rw = w_control[boot_idx]`` (constant per draw, no rescaling). - Survey-weighted treated-unit means: ``np.average(..., weights=rw_treated_draw)`` when survey weights are present. - Warm-start: the simplex init scales by rw before sum_normalize when on the survey path, matching the per-draw weighted-FW geometry. - Per-draw FW dispatch: survey paths call the new ``compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey`` / ``compute_time_weights_survey`` helpers (PR #352 commit 1) which run the weighted-FW kernel; non- survey paths continue to call the unweighted helpers (bit-identity preserved on the non-survey refit path). - Post-FW composition: ``ω_eff = rw·ω / Σ(rw·ω)`` for the SDID estimator (which expects simplex weights). Degenerate-retry if ``Σ(rw·ω) <= 0`` (all mass on rw=0 controls). - Aggregate FW non-convergence warning: tally is the AND of the two helpers' convergence flags per draw, fires above 5% (PR #351 c0d089b shape preserved, no copy change). Tests: - ``tests/test_survey_phase5.py``: rewrite three PR #351 raises-tests as succeeds-tests with explicit SE assertions — * ``test_full_design_bootstrap_succeeds`` (was ``_raises``): finite SE, populated survey_metadata.n_strata/n_psu, summary() includes Survey Design + Bootstrap replications blocks. * ``test_bootstrap_with_pweight_only_succeeds`` (was ``_raises``): finite SE, variance_method preserved (cross-surface guard). * New ``test_bootstrap_full_design_se_differs_from_pweight_only`` resurrects the PR #351 R3-deleted differs-from contract: ATT matches between paths (both compose ω_eff post-fit) but SE differs (Rao-Wu adds PSU clustering variance). - ``tests/test_methodology_sdid.py::TestBootstrapSE``: rewrite two PR #351 raises-tests as succeeds-tests, plus add the ``test_bootstrap_single_psu_returns_nan`` short-circuit regression. Verified: 308 tests pass across test_methodology_sdid / test_business_report SDID subset / test_rust_backend / test_survey_phase5 / test_weighted_fw / test_guides. Bit-identity check: the non-survey refit path goes through the unweighted helpers (no weighted-FW dispatch), so ``TestScaleEquivariance::test_baseline_parity_small_scale[bootstrap]`` remains at rel=1e-14 — verified passing.

Validates the new weighted-FW + Rao-Wu bootstrap composition and propagates the landed capability across the documentation surfaces. Coverage MC harness (benchmarks/python/coverage_sdid.py): - Add ``stratified_survey`` as a 4th DGP in ``ALL_DGPS``. Uses ``generate_survey_did_data`` to produce an N=40 (strata=2, PSU=2/ stratum) null-treatment panel with moderate weight variation and modest ICC (``psu_re_sd=1.5``). Cohort 7 → post = 7..11 (5 post periods). Converts per-observation ``treated`` to a unit-level ever-treated indicator (SDID's block-treatment requirement). - Extend ``DGPSpec`` with an optional ``survey_design_factory`` callable that returns ``(SurveyDesign, supported_methods_tuple)``. For ``stratified_survey``: bootstrap only — placebo / jackknife reject strata/PSU/FPC at fit-time, so the harness skips them rather than catching the NotImplementedError inside ``_fit_one``. - ``_fit_one`` gains an optional ``survey_design`` kwarg routed through ``SyntheticDiD.fit(survey_design=)``. ``_run_dgp`` calls the factory once per seed (DataFrame contents don't affect columns) and gates methods on the supported set. Regenerated ``benchmarks/data/sdid_coverage.json`` via ``python benchmarks/python/coverage_sdid.py --n-seeds 500 --n-bootstrap 200``. Total wall-clock 2421 s (~40 min on M-series Mac, Rust backend); aer63 remains the long tail at 2237 s, stratified_survey adds only 33 s. Calibration gate (plan §2.7): ``stratified_survey × bootstrap`` at α=0.05 returns 0.042 (500 seeds × B=200), inside the calibration band [0.02, 0.10]. ``mean SE / true SD = 1.25`` indicates the bootstrap is slightly conservative (overestimates empirical sampling SD by ~25%) — the safer direction under Rao-Wu rescaling with only 4 PSUs total. Validates the weighted-FW + Rao-Wu composition end-to-end. REGISTRY.md §SyntheticDiD: - Add ``stratified_survey`` row to the coverage MC table and a paragraph under it documenting the calibration verdict, the conservatism direction, and why placebo/jackknife rows are NaN. - Replace the survey-support bullet with a truth-table matrix (PR #352 shape); add a ``Note (survey + bootstrap composition)`` documenting the weighted-FW objective (unit and time forms), the ω_eff composition, the argmin-set caveat, the per-draw rw dispatch (pweight-only vs Rao-Wu), and the single-PSU short-circuit. - Update the ``Note (default variance_method deviation from R)`` to drop the "bootstrap rejects surveys" framing (no longer accurate). - Update the ``Note (coverage Monte Carlo calibration)`` header to say "4 representative null-panel DGPs" and flag stratified_survey as bootstrap-only. User-facing docs: - ``docs/methodology/survey-theory.md``: restore SDID in the Rao-Wu Rescaled Bootstrap list; describe the weighted-FW composition. - ``docs/survey-roadmap.md``: Phase 5 SDID row updated to reflect full-design bootstrap support via PR #352; Phase 6 Rao-Wu bullet restores SDID. - ``docs/tutorials/16_survey_did.ipynb`` cell-35: support matrix table row for SyntheticDiD switches from "pweight only (placebo/ jackknife)" to "bootstrap only (PR #352) for strata/PSU/FPC"; "Note on SyntheticDiD" block rewritten for the landed contract. - ``diff_diff/synthetic_did.py`` ``__init__`` docstring: bootstrap bullet now describes survey support and the ω_eff composition. - ``diff_diff/guides/llms-full.txt``: survey-aware bootstrap bullet includes SDID in the Rao-Wu list with the weighted-FW formula. CHANGELOG.md: - Retain the PR #351 regression Changed entry but annotate it as "restored in PR #352"; add new Added/Changed PR #352 entries documenting the weighted-FW kernel, survey helpers, _bootstrap_se Rao-Wu composition, and the new coverage MC row. TODO.md: - Row 103 (SDID + survey designs) → closed by PR #352; replaced with a narrower follow-up for placebo/jackknife + strata/PSU/FPC (Low priority, no concrete sketch yet). Tests: - ``TestCoverageMCArtifact`` extended: 4 DGPs asserted (including ``stratified_survey``); new explicit assertions that the stratified_survey bootstrap row has ≥100 successful fits and α=0.05 rejection ∈ [0.02, 0.10]; placebo/jackknife rows n_successful_fits == 0 (strata/PSU/FPC rejection contract).

Coverage MC artifact extended with a `stratified_survey` DGP (BRFSS-style: N=40, strata=2, PSU=2/stratum); the bootstrap row's near-nominal calibration is the validation gate (target rejection ∈ [0.02, 0.10] at α=0.05). New regression tests across `test_methodology_sdid.py::TestBootstrapSE` (single-PSU short-circuit, full-design and pweight-only succeeds-tests) and `test_survey_phase5.py::TestSyntheticDiDSurvey` (full-design ↔ pweight-only SE differs assertion). + +### Changed (PR #352) +- **SDID bootstrap SE values under survey fits now differ numerically from the v3.2.x line that shipped PR #351 alone**: the fit no longer raises `NotImplementedError`, and instead returns the weighted-FW + Rao-Wu SE. Non-survey fits are unaffected (the bootstrap dispatcher routes only the survey branch through the new `_survey` helpers; non-survey fits continue to call the existing `compute_sdid_unit_weights` / `compute_time_weights` and stay bit-identical at rel=1e-14 on the `_BASELINE["bootstrap"]` regression).

For unit weights: + ``` + min_{ω simplex} Σ_t (Σ_i rw_i · ω_i · Y_i,pre[t] - treated_pre[t])² + ζ²·Σ_i rw_i · ω_i² + ``` + Implementation: column-scales A by `rw_control` (so the loss term reads `||A·diag(rw)·ω - b||²`) and passes `reg_weights=rw_control` to the weighted Rust kernel for the diag(rw) penalty. The FW returns ω on the standard simplex; `_bootstrap_se` composes `ω_eff = rw·ω / Σ(rw·ω)` for the downstream `compute_sdid_estimator` call (which expects a normalized weight vector). For time weights, the loss becomes per-row weighted (`||diag(√rw)·(A·λ - b)||²`) and regularization on λ stays uniform — λ is per-period, rw is per-control, no alignment for per-λ reg weighting. + + **Argmin-set caveat (deliberate):** this objective is NOT the same as directly minimizing the standard SDID loss on `ω_eff` (the scaling factor `(Σ rw·ω)²` enters the loss-on-θ reparameterization non-constantly). The chosen form mirrors the spirit of the pre-PR-#351 Rao-Wu fixed-weight composition (rescale + renormalize) but with ω re-estimated per draw under the weighted objective, so weight-estimation uncertainty propagates correctly. No external R/Julia parity anchor exists because neither package defines survey-weighted SDID FW; validation rests on the coverage MC calibration row below (`stratified_survey × bootstrap`, target rejection ∈ [0.02, 0.10] at α=0.05). + + **Per-draw dispatch:** + - pweight-only → `rw = w_control[boot_idx_control]` (constant per draw, no Rao-Wu). + - full design → `rw = generate_rao_wu_weights(resolved_survey_unit, rng)` per draw, sliced over the resampled units. Rao-Wu rescales weights by `(n_h/m_h)·r_hi` within each stratum; degenerate-retry on zero-mass control or treated draws. + - **single-PSU short-circuit**: unstratified single-PSU designs return NaN SE (resampling one PSU yields the same subset every draw — bootstrap distribution is unidentified). - **Note:** P-value computation is variance-method dependent. Placebo (Algorithm 4) uses the empirical null formula `max(mean(|placebo_effects| ≥ |att|), 1/(r+1))` because permuting control indices generates draws from the null distribution (centered on 0). Bootstrap (Algorithm 2) and jackknife (Algorithm 3) use the analytical p-value from `safe_inference(att, se)` (normal-theory): bootstrap draws are centered on `τ̂` (sampling distribution of the estimator) and jackknife pseudo-values are not null draws, so the empirical null formula is invalid for them. This matches R's `synthdid::vcov()` convention, where variance is returned and inference is normal-theory from the SE. -- **Note (coverage Monte Carlo calibration):** `benchmarks/data/sdid_coverage.json` carries empirical rejection rates across all three variance methods on 3 representative null-panel DGPs (500 seeds × B=200, regenerable via `benchmarks/python/coverage_sdid.py`).

P1 Methodology — `compute_time_weights_survey` was documented as solving the WLS-style weighted λ objective min Σ_u rw_u·(Σ_t λ_t·Y_u,pre[t] - Y_u,post_mean)² + ζ²·||λ||² but row-scaled Y by sqrt(rw) and then handed the scaled matrix to `_sc_weight_fw(intercept=True)`, whose column-centering uses an UNWEIGHTED mean across controls. That is not the weighted objective once rw varies, so non-uniform survey bootstrap draws were refitting λ on the wrong objective and could bias the reported SE. Fix: weighted-center `Y_time` BEFORE the sqrt(rw) row-scaling, using `col_weighted_mean = (Y_time * rw).sum(0) / rw.sum()`, and pass `intercept=False` to the kernel so no additional unweighted centering happens on the scaled matrix. Both two-pass calls updated. `compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey` is unchanged — its column-centering is PER-UNIT (time means within each control column), which is independent of rw. P1 Code Quality — `SurveyDesign(weights=None, strata=..., psu=...)` is a valid configuration (`SurveyDesign.resolve()` synthesizes ones when weights is None), but `_extract_unit_survey_weights` indexed `survey_design.weights` as if it were always a column name, so the groupby would fail with a KeyError before the bootstrap branch could run. Fix: `_extract_unit_survey_weights` now short-circuits to a vector of ones of length `len(unit_order)` when `survey_design.weights is None`, matching `SurveyDesign.resolve()`'s semantics. Regression tests: - `test_non_uniform_rw_beats_unweighted_centering_variant` (test_weighted_fw.py): reproduces the pre-fix buggy variant (row- scale Y by sqrt(rw), then call `_sc_weight_fw(intercept=True)`) and asserts the fixed path's weighted SSR is strictly ≤ the buggy variant's weighted SSR. If a future revert reintroduces intercept=True after the row-scaling, this test fails. - `test_bootstrap_full_design_without_explicit_weights` (test_methodology_sdid.py): `SurveyDesign(strata=..., psu=...)` with no explicit `weights` column now succeeds on the bootstrap path; survey_metadata populated with n_strata / n_psu. P3 Documentation: - `SyntheticDiD.fit()` docstring (survey_design parameter + Raises block): replace "bootstrap rejects all survey designs" language with the PR #352 support-matrix truth-table (bootstrap ✓ for both pweight- only and full design; placebo/jackknife ✓ pweight-only, ✗ full design). - `_placebo_variance_se` fallback-guidance messages (two sites): drop the "strata/PSU/FPC not yet supported by any SDID variance method" framing; recommend bootstrap for full-design survey fallback, jackknife for pweight-only, adding controls as the universal fallback. - `docs/survey-roadmap.md` Current Limitations table: collapse the two SDID bootstrap-rejection rows into a single row for placebo/ jackknife + full design (the bootstrap + full design row no longer applies). Verified: 75 targeted tests pass (test_weighted_fw + TestBootstrapSE + TestScaleEquivariance + TestCoverageMCArtifact + test_survey_phase5).

That silently dropped survey weighting for that draw while the fit-time ATT uses the survey-weighted treated mean — corrupting the bootstrap distribution used for SE, p-value, and CI. Reachable with any `SurveyDesign(weights=...)` input where at least one treated unit has pweight 0 (a valid configuration per ``SurveyDesign.resolve()``'s spec) and the bootstrap resample picks only those units. Fix: extend the Rao-Wu degenerate-retry in ``_bootstrap_se`` to the pweight-only branch as well. When ANY survey path is active and ``rw_treated_draw.sum() == 0`` OR ``rw_control_draw.sum() == 0``, the draw is retried. The pre-fix behavior (unweighted treated mean fallback) is unreachable from any code path now. Regression: ``test_bootstrap_pweight_only_retries_zero_treated_mass_draws`` in ``tests/test_methodology_sdid.py::TestBootstrapSE``. Constructs a panel with 3 treated units where one has `wt=0`; bootstrap at B=100 still returns finite SE > 0. The test would fail if the code reverted to the unweighted-mean fallback because zero-mass draws would either produce degenerate SDiD estimators (NaN τ → gets filtered out by the finite-τ gate, possibly leaving no valid draws) or produce systematically different τ values that inflate the SE. P3 (same review) also addressed: - ``diff_diff/synthetic_did.py`` replicate-weight rejection message (line ~303) now reflects the PR #352 support matrix instead of the pre-PR #352 "only pweight-only placebo/jackknife" framing.

P3 docs/tests — secondary surfaces described the full-design path as "Rao-Wu rescaled bootstrap" but only REGISTRY.md surfaced the material caveat that SDID still uses unit-level pairs-bootstrap resampling (``boot_idx = rng.choice(n_total)``) and then applies Rao-Wu rescaled weights on top — a hybrid composition, not a standalone Rao-Wu bootstrap. Update survey-theory.md (splits SunAbraham/TROP's standalone Rao-Wu bullet from SDID's hybrid bullet) and CHANGELOG.md's PR #352 Added entry to use the hybrid-composition wording mirroring REGISTRY. P3 tests — the methodology-critical ``boot_idx`` × ``generate_rao_wu_weights`` interaction was only guarded by the slow coverage MC. Add ``test_bootstrap_full_design_rao_wu_boot_idx_slice`` (in ``TestBootstrapSE``) which monkeypatches ``generate_rao_wu_weights`` to return a known vector of distinct per-unit values (``arange(1, n_total+1)``), captures the ``rw_control_draw`` vectors fed into the weighted FW helper via a capturing wrapper on ``compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey``, and asserts every captured vector lies within ``known_rw[:n_control]`` (positions 1..n_control). This catches two bug classes: - slice-order regression: if someone swaps rw-then-slice for slice-then-rw, the captured vectors would include values from the treated slice ``known_rw[n_control:]`` and the assertion fires. - rw-drift regression: if the Rao-Wu call site bypasses ``generate_rao_wu_weights`` (e.g., a refactor silently uses the pweight-only branch for full-design fits), the captured vector would be the user's w_control (all 1.0 in this test) instead of the known Rao-Wu output.

New Python helpers `compute_sdid_unit_weights_survey` and `compute_time_weights_survey` thread per-control survey weights through the two-pass sparsify-refit dispatcher (column-scaling Y by `rw` for the loss, `reg_weights=rw` for the penalty on the unit-weights side; weighted column-centering + row-scaling Y by `sqrt(rw)` for the loss with uniform reg on the time-weights side). `_bootstrap_se` survey branch composes the per-draw `rw` (Rao-Wu rescaling for full designs, constant `w_control` for pweight-only fits) with the weighted-FW helpers, then composes `ω_eff = rw·ω/Σ(rw·ω)` for the SDID estimator. Coverage MC artifact extended with a `stratified_survey` DGP (BRFSS-style: N=40, strata=2, PSU=2/stratum); the bootstrap row's near-nominal calibration is the validation gate (target rejection ∈ [0.02, 0.10] at α=0.05). New regression tests across `test_methodology_sdid.py::TestBootstrapSE` (single-PSU short-circuit, full-design and pweight-only succeeds-tests, zero-treated-mass retry, deterministic Rao-Wu × boot_idx slice) and `test_survey_phase5.py::TestSyntheticDiDSurvey` (full-design ↔ pweight-only SE differs assertion). See REGISTRY.md §SyntheticDiD ``Note (survey + bootstrap composition)`` for the full objective and the argmin-set caveat. ### Changed (PR #352) - **SDID bootstrap SE values under survey fits now differ numerically from the v3.2.x line that shipped PR #351 alone**: the fit no longer raises `NotImplementedError`, and instead returns the weighted-FW + Rao-Wu SE. Non-survey fits are unaffected (the bootstrap dispatcher routes only the survey branch through the new `_survey` helpers; non-survey fits continue to call the existing `compute_sdid_unit_weights` / `compute_time_weights` and stay bit-identical at rel=1e-14 on the `_BASELINE["bootstrap"]` regression). SDID's `placebo` and `jackknife` paths still reject `strata/PSU/FPC` (separate methodology gap; tracked in TODO.md as a follow-up PR). diff --git a/docs/methodology/survey-theory.md b/docs/methodology/survey-theory.md index 38b2edef..019cc4ca 100644 --- a/docs/methodology/survey-theory.md +++ b/docs/methodology/survey-theory.md @@ -722,18 +722,23 @@ Two bootstrap strategies interact with survey designs: Generates multiplier weights at the PSU level within strata, with FPC scaling.

The weighted-FW bootstrap objective is not scale-invariant in rw (loss scales as rw^2 via A·diag(rw), reg scales as rw), so two equivalent designs w and c*w could produce different bootstrap SE / p-value / CI with no warning. Fix: source w_control / w_treated from resolved_survey_unit.weights, which SurveyDesign.resolve() normalizes to mean=1 (survey.py L189-L203). Placebo / jackknife paths also consume the same w_control / w_treated but are scale-invariant, so their numerics are unchanged. R4 P3 (test tightening): the boot_idx × Rao-Wu regression test asserted captured rw values stayed within the known_rw[1, 15] range — too weak to catch permutation / deduplication regressions in the slice order. Tighten by reproducing the bootstrap RNG stream externally (fake_rao_wu doesn't consume rng) and asserting exact-equality between the captured rw_control vector and known_rw[:n_control][boot_idx[boot_is_control]]. New regression test: test_bootstrap_scale_invariance_under_pweight_rescaling fits the same panel under SurveyDesign("wt") vs SurveyDesign("wt_scaled") (10x rescale) and asserts SE, p-value, CI match to machine-epsilon tolerance.

Python's ``json`` module tolerates those tokens on read, but strict JSON parsers reject them, making the committed artifact non-strict. ``_summarize`` now returns ``None`` (serializes as ``null``) instead of ``float('nan')`` on the all-failed branch, and ``json.dump`` is called with ``allow_nan=False`` so any stray non-finite value fails loudly instead of serializing as a bare ``NaN`` / ``Infinity`` token. The committed artifact has been patched in place (bare ``NaN`` → ``null``) and strict-loader-verified; no regen needed since the numeric content on the previously-NaN cells was definitionally absent.

Rejection at α=0.05 is 0.042 (well inside the calibration gate [0.02, 0.10] widened from a 2σ band to accommodate the high ICC ≈ 0.84 induced by `psu_re_sd=1.5` with only 4 PSUs total). `mean SE / true SD = 1.25` indicates the bootstrap is slightly conservative (overestimates the empirical sampling SD by ~25%) — the safer direction; expected under Rao-Wu rescaling with few PSUs because the per-draw weights inflate variance from the resampling structure on top of the fit-time uncertainty. Placebo and jackknife rows are NaN here because both methods reject strata/PSU/FPC at fit-time (tracked as a separate methodology gap in TODO.md). Bootstrap is the only available variance method for full-design SDID fits in this release. + **`stratified_survey × bootstrap` (PR #352)**: validates the weighted-FW + Rao-Wu composition added in this PR.

CI's isolated-install job deliberately copies only ``tests/``, not ``benchmarks/``, so the module import failed with ``ModuleNotFoundError`` on CI runners that install the package into a fresh site-packages and then run the test suite against that install. The target is a benchmarking harness helper, not shipped package code, so the natural home is ``benchmarks/python/``. Moving it there keeps the test runnable locally (developer invokes explicitly before regenerating the coverage MC artifact) and out of CI's collection (``pyproject.toml testpaths = ["tests"]`` scopes default discovery to ``tests/`` only, so the new file never interferes).
