A Bayesian approach to the g-formula [PDF]

Stat Methods Med Res. 2017 Jan 1:962280217694665, 2015
Epidemiologists often wish to estimate quantities that are easy to communicate and correspond to the results of realistic public health scenarios. Methods from causal inference can answer these questions. We adopt the language of potential outcomes under Rubin's original Bayesian framework and show that the parametric g-formula is easily amenable to a ...
