正值性违反下连续处理的可行剂量反应曲线
- 研究问题
- 当目标剂量在部分协变量分层中缺乏支持时，如何构造接近原始科学问题、又符合个体可实现范围的因果剂量反应曲线？
- 方法与思路
- 作者定义非重叠比例，把不受支持的目标剂量映射到最近可行剂量，再结合结局回归与条件密度估计进行插件式 g 计算。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要提出可行剂量反应目标及诊断工具，称模拟中正值性违反时偏差降低、支持充分时恢复标准曲线，并给出儿童 HIV 数据应用。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对支持区域及最近剂量的定义、密度估计阈值、因果识别条件，并区分可行干预曲线与原始固定剂量干预曲线。
- 阅读边界
- 这是 arXiv 预印本，同行评审或期刊接收未核实；摘要未列出识别与支持学习条件，可行目标的解释不能直接等同于原始目标。
原文摘要
Positivity violations can complicate estimation and interpretation of causal dose-response curves (CDRCs) for continuous interventions. Weighting-based methods are designed to handle limited overlap, but the resulting weighted targets can be hard to interpret scientifically. Modified treatment policies can be less sensitive to support limitations, yet they typically target policy-defined effects that may not align with the original dose-response question. We develop an approach that addresses limited overlap while remaining close to the scientific target of the CDRC. Our work is motivated by the CHAPAS-3 trial of HIV-positive children in Zambia and Uganda, where clinically relevant efavirenz concentration levels are not uniformly supported across covariate strata. We introduce a diagnostic, the non-overlap ratio, which quantifies, as a function of the target intervention level, the proportion of the population for whom that level is not supported given observed covariates. We also define an individualized most feasible intervention: for each child and target concentration, we retain the target when it is supported, and otherwise map it to the nearest supported concentration. The resulting feasible dose-response curve answers: if we try to set everyone to a given concentration, but it is not realistically attainable for some individuals, what outcome would be expected after shifting those individuals to their nearest attainable concentration? We propose a plug-in g-computation estimator that combines outcome regression with flexible conditional density estimation to learn supported regions and evaluate the feasible estimand. Simulations show reduced bias under positivity violations and recovery of the standard CDRC when support is adequate. An application to CHAPAS-3 yields a stable and interpretable concentration-response summary under realistic support constraints.
