Causal inference in completely randomized treatment-control studies with binary outcomes is discussed from Fisherian, Neymanian, and Bayesian perspectives, using the potential outcomes model. A randomization-based justification of Fisher’s exact test is provided. Arguing that the crucial assumption of constant causal effect is often unrealistic, and holds only for extreme cases, some new asymptotic and Bayesian inferential procedures are proposed. The proposed procedures…

死亡截断结局下主层化因果效应的可识别性与估计AI 解读

In medical studies, there are many situations where the final outcomes are truncated by death, in which patients die before outcomes of interest are measured. In this article we consider identifiability and estimation of causal effects by principal stratification when some outcomes are truncated by death. Previous studies mostly focused on large sample bounds, Bayesian analysis, sensitivity analysis. In this article, we propose a new method for identifying the causal…
