Selection Bias Requires Selection: The Case of Collider Stratification Bias. [PDF]
Am J Epidemiol, 2023 Abstract In epidemiology, collider stratification bias, the bias resulting from conditioning on a common effect of two causes, is oftentimes considered a type of selection bias, regardless of the conditioning methods employed. In this commentary, we distinguish between two types of collider stratification bias: collider restriction bias ...

Network experiment designs for inferring causal effects under interference
Frontiers in Big Data, 2023 Current approaches to A/B testing in networks focus on limiting interference, the concern that treatment effects can “spill over” from treatment nodes to control nodes and lead to biased causal effect estimation. In the presence of interference, two main

Credible Mendelian Randomization Studies in the Presence of Selection Bias Using Control Exposures
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Selection bias is increasingly acknowledged as a limitation of Mendelian randomization (MR). However, few methods exist to assess this issue. We focus on two plausible causal structures relevant to MR studies and illustrate the data-generating process ...
