Marginal Structural Models to Estimate Causal Effects of Right-to-Carry Laws on Crime
Statistics and Public Policy, 2022 Right-to-carry (RTC) laws allow the legal carrying of concealed firearms for defense, in certain states in the United States. I used modern causal inference methodology from epidemiology to examine the effect of RTC laws on crime over a period from 1959 ...

Deep Structural Causal Shape Models
, 2023 Causal reasoning provides a language to ask important interventional and counterfactual questions beyond purely statistical association. In medical imaging, for example, we may want to study the causal effect of genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors on the normal and pathological variation of anatomical phenotypes.

Quantifying Causal Path-Specific Importance in Structural Causal Model
Computation, 2023 Path-specific effect analysis is a powerful tool in causal inference. This paper provides a definition of causal counterfactual path-specific importance score for the structural causal model (SCM). Different from existing path-specific effect definitions, which focus on the population level, the score defined in this paper can quantify the impact of a ...

Causality and tractable probabilistic models
Frontiers in Computer ScienceCausal assertions stem from an asymmetric relation between some variable's causes and effects, i.e., they imply the existence of a function decomposition of a model where the effects are a function of the causes without implying that the causes are ...

A practical method to control spatiotemporal confounding in environmental impact studies
MethodsX, 2018 Separating natural spatiotemporal variation from the impact of human activities has long been a challenge in environmental impact studies. To overcome this problem, a causal modelling method based on spatiotemporal data, integrated with existing ...

A clarification on the links between potential outcomes and do-interventions
Journal of Causal InferenceMost of the scientific literature on causal modeling considers the structural framework of Pearl and the potential-outcome framework of Rubin to be formally equivalent and therefore interchangeably uses do-interventions and the potential-outcome ...

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.
