DFW: a novel weighting scheme for covariate balancing and treatment effect estimation
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and StatisticsEstimating causal effects from observational data is challenging due to selection bias, which leads to imbalanced covariate distributions across treatment groups.

Third Variable Effects in Management Studies
Problemy Zarządzania, 2016 The article’s aim is to explain the third variable effects in management studies –mediation, suppression, and confounding. Examples of these three types of the third variable effects are based on the European Social Survey (2012) data.

A confounding bridge approach for double negative control inference on causal effects
Statistical Theory and Related FieldsUnmeasured confounding is a key challenge for causal inference. In this paper, we establish a framework for unmeasured confounding adjustment with negative control variables.

On the Monotonicity of a Nondifferentially Mismeasured Binary Confounder
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 Suppose that we are interested in the average causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome when this relationship is confounded by a binary confounder. Suppose that the confounder is unobserved but a nondifferential proxy of it is observed.

Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2007 Confounding is a statistical concept that is important to all researchers.The concept of confounding is explained with the help of an amusing but true example. Simple explanations about and examples of confounding are provided. Methods to deal with confounding are detailed and their applications and disadvantages are examined.Attention to confounding ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cup‐like nuclei are a distinctive morphological feature observed in certain cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We provide evidence that they characterize DUX4/ERG ALL independently of IKZF1 deletion and reveal marked mitochondrial accumulation in this ALL subset.

A note on a sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding, and the related E-value
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 Unmeasured confounding is one of the most important threats to the validity of observational studies. In this paper we scrutinize a recently proposed sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cerebellar ataxia after pediatric brain tumor treatment can cause persistent gait, balance, and speech impairment, yet no established rehabilitation strategy exists. Somato‐cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) is a virtual reality–guided intervention designed to promote sensorimotor integration through visually constrained reaching
