Individualized treatment rules (ITRs) map an individual patient's characteristics to their recommended treatment value. Typically, the optimal ITR is defined as the rule which maximizes a mean counterfactual outcome; the resulting ITR maximizes the effect of treatment along all causal pathways to the outcome, including indirect pathways through mediating variables. Although maximizing the total effect is often sufficient, explicitly incorporating causal mediation in an ITR analysis has several potential benefits such as enhanced interpretability, and additional flexibility in targeting specific causal pathways. For this purpose, we introduce novel Bayesian semiparametric and nonparametric estimators for conditional mediation effects in the presence of multiple mediators and show how they can be used to estimate optimal ITRs. We demonstrate the proposed methodology via an application to optimal kidney allocation with hepatitis C positive donors.
NP-LEAP:借用历史数据的非参数潜在可交换性先验
Bayesian dynamic borrowing (BDB) methods leverage historical data to reduce treatment effect uncertainty, yet existing approaches rely on parametric outcome models susceptible to misspecification. We propose the nonparametric latent exchangeability prior (NP-LEAP), an outcome-agnostic, assumption-lean framework to borrow information from historical data. The NP-LEAP performs individual-level exchangeability assessment, inducing Bayesian model averaging over all possible…
随机干预效应的校准贝叶斯推断
Causal inference increasingly extends beyond classical causal effects defined by deterministic treatment assignments, such as the average treatment effect, to stochastic intervention effects that can weaken positivity requirements and offer greater policy relevance. Nonparametric Bayesian models are attractive for estimating these effects due to their flexibility and inherent uncertainty propagation, but this posterior uncertainty need not be well calibrated for the causal…
采用局部—全局收缩的非正态变换有向无环图半参数贝叶斯结构学习
Bayesian structure learning of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is central to high-dimensional causal discovery, yet existing methods mostly assume multivariate Gaussian data, which is routinely violated by measurements displaying heavy tails, skewness, or bounded support. We address this by introducing NPN-DAG-HS, a fully Bayesian semiparametric DAG model coupling the nonparanormal family with horseshoe shrinkage on Cholesky off-diagonals via an extended-rank likelihood. This…
结合贝叶斯非参数与半参数校正的因果中介分析案例
We propose a Bayesian nonparametric approach using a truncated Enriched Dirichlet Process mixture (EDPM) model to estimate natural direct (NDE) and indirect (NIE) effects in causal mediation analyses in the presence of post-treatment confounders. We introduce an efficient cluster reallocation Metropolis-Hasting algorithm to improve mixing in the blocked Gibbs sampler. We implement a one-step posterior correction based on the efficient influence function for our setting. This…
整群随机试验中因果中介效应的半参数贝叶斯推断
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are frequently used to evaluate interventions, yet conducting causal mediation analysis in these settings remains challenging, particularly when the mediator is measured at the cluster level and the number of clusters is small. Standard inference methods often rely on asymptotic assumptions that fail in finite-sample settings, leading to biased variance estimation and invalid confidence intervals. In this paper, we propose a robust inference…
可扩展的贝叶斯双重机器学习框架及其在种族比例失衡评估中的应用
Racial disproportionality in stop and search practices elicits substantial concerns about its societal and behavioral impacts. In London, Black individuals are about four times more likely to be stopped and searched than White individuals. Using data on stop and search events in London from January 2019 to December 2023, this paper aims to investigate disproportionality in the volume of stops for expressive crimes involving Black individuals compared to other ethnicities. We…
