The impact of lockdown on child adjustment: a propensity score matched analysis

open access: yesBMC Psychology
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an inestimable impact worldwide, challenging the daily lives and interactions of children and their families. In 2022, Shanghai implemented a three-month lockdown in response to an acceleration of positive cases during the ...

Propensity score adjustment with several follow-ups [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrika, 2014
Summary: Propensity score weighting adjustment is commonly used to handle unit nonresponse. When the response mechanism is nonignorable in the sense that the response probability depends directly on the study variable, a follow-up sample is commonly used to obtain an unbiased estimator using the framework of two-phase sampling, where the follow-up ...

Multiple comparisons for survival data with propensity score adjustment. [PDF]

open access: yesComput Stat Data Anal, 2015
This article considers the practical problem in clinical and observational studies where multiple treatment or prognostic groups are compared and the observed survival data are subject to right censoring. Two possible formulations of multiple comparisons are suggested.

Propensity score weighting for covariate adjustment in randomized clinical trials [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, 2020
Chance imbalance in baseline characteristics is common in randomized clinical trials. Regression adjustment such as the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is often used to account for imbalance and increase precision of the treatment effect estimate. An objective alternative is through inverse probability weighting (IPW) of the propensity scores. Although

Cutting Feedback in Bayesian Regression Adjustment for the Propensity Score [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Journal of Biostatistics, 2010
McCandless, Gustafson and Austin (2009) describe a Bayesian approach to regression adjustment for the propensity score to reduce confounding. A unique property of the method is that the treatment and outcome models are combined via Bayes theorem. However, this estimation procedure can be problematic if the outcome model is misspecified.

Robust Causal Estimation from Observational Studies Using Penalized Spline of Propensity Score for Treatment Comparison

open access: yesStats, 2021
Without randomization of treatments, valid inference of treatment effects from observational studies requires controlling for all confounders because the treated subjects generally differ systematically from the control subjects.

Accounting for the mortality benefit of drug-eluting stents in percutaneous coronary intervention: a comparison of methods in a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Medicine, 2011
Background Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce rates of restenosis compared with bare metal stents (BMS). A number of observational studies have also found lower rates of mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction with DES compared with BMS, findings not

Methods to Counter Self-Selection Bias in Estimations of the Distribution Function and Quantiles

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Many surveys are performed using non-probability methods such as web surveys, social networks surveys, or opt-in panels. The estimates made from these data sources are usually biased and must be adjusted to make them representative of the target ...
