Normalized Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting with Neural Network Predictions [PDF]

Entropy, 2022
The estimation of average treatment effect (ATE) as a causal parameter is carried out in two steps, where in the first step, the treatment and outcome are modeled to incorporate the potential confounders, and in the second step, the predictions are ...

Non-Asymptotic Bounds of AIPW Estimators for Means with Missingness at Random

Mathematics, 2023
The augmented inverse probability weighting is well known for its double robustness in missing data and causal inference. If either the propensity score model or the outcome regression model is correctly specified, the estimator is guaranteed to be ...

Comparison of Propensity Score Weighting Methods to Remove Selection Bias in Average Treatment Effect Estimates

International Journal of Turkish Education Sciences, 2023
In this Monte Carlo simulation study, the performance of six different propensity score methods implemented through weighting cases was investigated: inverse probability of treatment weighting, truncated inverse probability of treatment weighting ...

Effectiveness of remdesivir in hospitalized nonsevere patients with COVID-19 in Japan: A large observational study using the COVID-19 Registry Japan

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of remdesivir in the early stage of nonsevere COVID-19. Although several randomized controlled trials have compared the effectiveness of remdesivir with that of a placebo, there is limited evidence regarding its ...

Gender discrimination in the business school’s C-suite? Evidence from aggregate decomposition approaches

Frontiers in Education, 2022
Workplace discrimination continues to at least be perceived as a problem by faculty and staff in higher education. The current study extends the academic literature in this area by exploring the possibility of gender discrimination in the wages of ...

Combining Multiple Imputation and Inverse-Probability Weighting for Analyzing Response with Missing in the Presence of Covariates

Journal of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2020
Introduction: Missing values are frequently seen in data sets of research studiesespecially in medical studies.Therefore, it is essential that the data, especially in medical research should evaluate in terms of the structure of missingness.This study ...

Understanding Marginal Structural Models for Time-Varying Exposures: Pitfalls and Tips

Journal of Epidemiology, 2020
Epidemiologists are increasingly encountering complex longitudinal data, in which exposures and their confounders vary during follow-up. When a prior exposure affects the confounders of the subsequent exposures, estimating the effects of the time-varying
