Potential outcome and decision theoretic foundations for statistical causality [PDF]
Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 In a recent work published in this journal, Philip Dawid has described a graphical causal model based on decision diagrams. This article describes how single-world intervention graphs (SWIGs) relate to these diagrams.

Discovery of genes positively modulating treatment effect using potential outcome framework and Bayesian update [PDF]
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2022 Background The recent explosion of cancer genomics provides extensive information about mutations and gene expression changes in cancer. However, most of the identified gene mutations are not clinically utilized. It remains uncertain whether the presence

Choosing exogeneity assumptions in potential outcome models [PDF]
Econometrics Journal, 2022 There are many kinds of exogeneity assumptions. How should researchers choose among them? When exogeneity is imposed on an unobservable like a potential outcome, we argue that the form of exogeneity should be chosen based on the kind of selection on ...

Causation and decision: On Dawid’s “Decision theoretic foundation of statistical causality”
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 In a recent issue of this journal, Philip Dawid (2021) proposes a framework for causal inference that is based on statistical decision theory and that is, in many aspects, compatible with the familiar framework of causal graphs (e.g., Directed Acyclic ...

Definition and Estimation of Covariate Effect Types in the Context of Treatment Effectiveness
Mathematics, 2020 In some clinical studies, assessing covariate effect types indicating whether a covariate is predictive and/or prognostic is of interest, in addition to the study endpoint. Recently, for a case with a binary outcome, Chiba (Clinical Trials, 2019; 16: 237–

Decision-theoretic foundations for statistical causality
Journal of Causal Inference, 2021 We develop a mathematical and interpretative foundation for the enterprise of decision-theoretic (DT) statistical causality, which is a straightforward way of representing and addressing causal questions.
