Generalized coarsened confounding for causal effects: a large-sample framework
There has been widespread use of causal inference methods for the rigorous analysis of observational studies and to identify policy evaluations. In this article, we consider a class of generalized coarsened procedures for confounding.

Current philosophical perspectives on drug approval in the real world
The evidence-based medicine approach to causal medical inference is the dominant account among medical methodologists. Competing approaches originating in the philosophy of medicine seek to challenge this account.

A Geometric Perspective on Double Robustness by Semiparametric Theory and Information Geometry
Double robustness (DR) is a widely-used property of estimators that provides protection against model misspecification and slow convergence of nuisance functions.

Foundations of causal discovery on groups of variables
Discovering causal relationships from observational data is a challenging task that relies on assumptions connecting statistical quantities to graphical or algebraic causal models.

Dual Likelihood for Causal Inference under Structure Uncertainty
Knowledge of the underlying causal relations is essential for inferring the effect of interventions in complex systems. In a widely studied approach, structural causal models postulate noisy functional relations among interacting variables, where the ...

Combining observational and experimental data for causal inference considering data privacy
Combining observational and experimental data for causal inference can improve treatment effect estimation. However, many observational datasets cannot be released due to data privacy considerations, so one researcher may not have access to both ...

Valid causal inference with unobserved confounding in high-dimensional settings
Various methods have recently been proposed to estimate causal effects with confidence intervals that are uniformly valid over a set of data-generating processes when high-dimensional nuisance models are estimated by post-model-selection or machine ...
