Heather Battey’s contribution to the Discussion of ‘Parameterizing and simulating from causal models’ by Evans and Didelez
Heather Battey对《因果模型的参数化与模拟》的讨论评论
My brief comment relates to the inferential discussion of Section 5. The sample-space factorization of the joint probability from the marginal structural model induces a parameter-space factorization of the likelihood function, with the implication that θZX is orthogonal to (θY|X*,ϕYZ|X*) in the sense of, e.g. Cox and Reid (1987), and leading to the simplified asymptotic covariance matrix of Theorem 5.1. The parameter cut discussed at the beginning of Section 5 also…
