随机试验与观察数据的自适应组合

研究问题
如何结合随机试验与观察研究的条件处理效应估计,在观察估计存在偏差时保持一致性,在偏差可忽略时提高效率?
方法与思路
作者以惩罚最小二乘构造组合估计,检测到观察估计偏差时向随机试验估计倾斜,并分析渐近性质、模拟表现及激素治疗应用。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,组合估计在观察研究一致性假设失效时仍可一致;偏差可忽略时实现最优效率,模拟展示了有限样本稳健性与效率。
阅读关注点
核对两类数据的目标人群与条件效应是否可比、偏差检测和权重规则,以及一致性与最优效率结论各自依赖哪些条件。
阅读边界
这是 arXiv 预印本,同行评审或期刊接收未获核实;摘要未列出试验有效性、跨来源可比性等完整条件,不能理解为无条件稳健。

原文摘要

Data from both a randomized trial and an observational study are sometimes simultaneously available for evaluating the effect of an intervention. The randomized data typically allows for reliable estimation of average treatment effects but may be limited in sample size and patient heterogeneity for estimating conditional average treatment effects for a broad range of patients. Estimates from the observational study can potentially compensate for these limitations, but there may be concerns about whether confounding and treatment effect heterogeneity have been adequately addressed. We propose an approach for combining conditional treatment effect estimators from each source such that it aggressively weights toward the randomized estimator when bias in the observational estimator is detected. This allows the combination to be consistent for a conditional causal effect, regardless of whether assumptions required for consistent estimation in the observational study are satisfied. When the bias is negligible, the estimators from each source are combined for optimal efficiency. We show the problem can be formulated as a penalized least squares problem and consider its asymptotic properties. Simulations demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the method in finite samples, in scenarios with bias or no bias in the observational estimator. We illustrate the method by estimating the effects of hormone replacement therapy on the risk of developing coronary heart disease in data from the Women's Health Initiative.
