网络约束匹配与因果效应的随机化推断

研究问题
在相互连接的研究对象中,协变量匹配可能使匹配对象在网络上过近,如何减少由处理和结局的网络自相关造成的伪关联?
方法与思路
作者在协变量相似性之外加入网络邻近约束,并用随机化方法检验无因果效应的尖锐零假设,允许匹配组统计量相互依赖。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要提出网络约束匹配和无需显式指定组间相关结构的渐近推断,并报告模拟、Framingham 应用及 R 包实现。
阅读关注点
应核对网络距离约束、允许的处理分配机制、依赖下正态近似条件,以及网络相关与处理溢出在模型中如何区分。
阅读边界
依据 arXiv 第1版预印本摘要,不能声称已同行评审或期刊接收;摘要未给出因果识别和依赖条件,也未说明是否允许处理干扰。

原文摘要

Matching is widely used to mimic randomized experiments by forming matched sets in which treated and control units differ only randomly with respect to observed covariates. However, when the study population consists of interconnected units from a single network or a small number of networks, matching solely on observed covariates may produce matched units that are more closely connected in the network than would occur by chance. This increased network proximity within matched sets can induce spurious associations between treatment and outcome when both variables exhibit similar autocorrelation patterns on the network. To reduce spurious associations while preserving the validity of causal comparisons, we propose a new matching method that matches units with similar covariates subject to additional network-proximity constraints. For post-matching inference, we propose a randomization-based procedure for testing the sharp null hypothesis of no causal effect. The inference uses the asymptotic normal approximation and accommodates statistical dependence among test statistics obtained from each matched set without requiring explicit specifications of their correlation structures. We demonstrate the validity and utility of the proposed methods through simulation studies and apply them to the Framingham Heart Study. The matching method and subsequent inference procedure are implemented in the R package netmatchRI.
