Joint Indirect Standardization When Only Marginal Distributions are Observed in the Index Population
目标总体仅有边际分布时的联合间接标准化
It is a common interest in medicine to determine whether a hospital meets a benchmark created from an aggregate reference population, after accounting for differences in distributions of multiple covariates. Due to the difficulties of collecting individual-level data, however, it is often the case that only marginal distributions of the covariates are available, making covariate-adjusted comparison challenging. We propose and evaluate a novel approach for conducting indirect…
