Direct estimation of the mean outcome on treatment when treatment assignment and discontinuation compete
治疗分配与终止相竞争时治疗下平均结局的直接估计
Several authors have investigated the challenges of statistical analyses and inference in the presence of early treatment termination, including a loss of efficiency in randomized controlled trials and a connection to dynamic regimes in observational studies. Popular estimation strategies for causal estimands in dynamic regimes lend themselves to studies where treatment is assigned at a finite number of points and the extension to continuous treatment assignment is…
