Assumption Trade-Offs When Choosing Identification Strategies for Pre-Post Treatment Effect Estimation: An Illustration of a Community-Based Intervention in Madagascar

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2015
Failure (or success) in finding a statistically significant effect of a large-scale intervention may be due to choices made in the evaluation. To highlight the potential limitations and pitfalls of some common identification strategies used for ...

Average treatment effects on binary outcomes with stochastic covariates

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 2023
Abstract When evaluating the effect of psychological treatments on a dichotomous outcome variable in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), covariate adjustment using logistic regression models is often applied. In the presence of covariates, average marginal effects (AMEs) are often preferred over odds ratios, as AMEs yield a clearer ...

Framework for Evaluating Potential Causes of Health Risk Factors Using Average Treatment Effect and Uplift Modelling

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2023
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer that affects both adults and children. Benzene exposure has been reported to increase the risk of developing AML in children.

From Sample Average Treatment Effect to Population Average Treatment Effect on the Treated: Combining Experimental with Observational Studies to Estimate Population Treatment Effects [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2015
SummaryRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) can provide unbiased estimates of sample average treatment effects. However, a common concern is that RCTs may fail to provide unbiased estimates of population average treatment effects. We derive the assumptions that are required to identify population average treatment effects from RCTs.

Sensitivity Analysis for Average Treatment Effects [PDF]

open access: yesThe Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2007
Based on the conditional independence or unconfoundedness assumption, matching has become a popular approach to estimate average treatment effects. Checking the sensitivity of the estimated results with respect to deviations from this identifying assumption has become an increasingly important topic in the applied evaluation literature.

Efficiency of Average Treatment Effect Estimation When the True Propensity Is Parametric

open access: yesEconometrics, 2019
It is well known that efficient estimation of average treatment effects can be obtained by the method of inverse propensity score weighting, using the estimated propensity score, even when the true one is known.

Dynamic Local Average Treatment Effects

open access: yesCoRR
We consider Dynamic Treatment Regimes (DTRs) with One Sided Noncompliance that arise in applications such as digital recommendations and adaptive medical trials. These are settings where decision makers encourage individuals to take treatments over time, but adapt encouragements based on previous encouragements, treatments, states, and outcomes ...

Propensity Score Matching: should we use it in designing observational studies?

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology
Background Propensity Score Matching (PSM) stands as a widely embraced method in comparative effectiveness research. PSM crafts matched datasets, mimicking some attributes of randomized designs, from observational data.
