结果依赖型缺失与自我删失下的因果推断

研究问题
当结果变量影响自身是否被报告时,如何检验用于因果识别的条件,并同时处理自我删失和混杂带来的估计偏差?
方法与思路
作者利用鼓励结果报告的随机激励变量构造检验,提出以处理变量作为影子变量的识别方法,并组合处理权重与响应权重。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称检验可验证所述路径阻断条件;在这些条件下,因果效应可识别,并可用直观的逆概率加权估计量估计。
阅读关注点
应核对随机激励变量的假设、检验与路径阻断条件的逻辑关系,以及将处理变量用作影子变量的识别与加权推导。
阅读边界
这是 arXiv 预印本,同行评审与期刊接收未核实。摘要未列出完整假设或检验性质,不能把检验未拒绝等同于识别已获证明。

原文摘要

We consider missingness in the context of causal inference when the outcome of interest may be missing. If the outcome directly affects its own missingness status, i.e., it is "self-censoring", this may lead to severely biased causal effect estimates. Miao et al. [2015] proposed the shadow variable method to correct for bias due to self-censoring; however, verifying the required model assumptions can be difficult. Here, we propose a test based on a randomized incentive variable offered to encourage reporting of the outcome that can be used to verify identification assumptions that are sufficient to correct for both self-censoring and confounding bias. Concretely, the test confirms whether a given set of pre-treatment covariates is sufficient to block all backdoor paths between the treatment and outcome as well as all paths between the treatment and missingness indicator after conditioning on the outcome. We show that under these conditions, the causal effect is identified by using the treatment as a shadow variable, and it leads to an intuitive inverse probability weighting estimator that uses a product of the treatment and response weights. We evaluate the efficacy of our test and downstream estimator via simulations.
