A fundamental principle of clinical medicine is that a treatment should only be administered to those patients who would benefit from it. Treatment strategies that assign treatment to patients as a function of their individual characteristics are known as dynamic treatment rules. The dynamic treatment rule that optimizes the outcome in the population is called the optimal dynamic treatment rule. Randomized clinical trials are considered the gold standard for estimating the marginal causal effect of a treatment on an outcome; they are often not powered to detect heterogeneous treatment effects, and thus, may rarely inform more personalized treatment decisions. The availability of multiple trials studying a common set of treatments presents an opportunity for combining data, often called data-fusion, to better estimate dynamic treatment rules. However, there may be a mismatch in the set of patient covariates measured across trials. We address this problem here; we propose a nonparametric estimator for the optimal dynamic treatment rule that leverages information across the set of randomized trials. We apply the estimator to fused randomized trials of medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder to estimate a treatment rule that would match patient subgroups with the medication that would minimize risk of return to regular opioid use.
伪面板事件研究:可信应用的计量经济学基础
Event studies with panel data are widely used to estimate treatment effects. With repeated cross-sections, future treatment dates are unobserved for untreated individuals. Pseudo-panel event studies impute pre-treatment outcomes of the treated using matched untreated individuals. This paper establishes identification in such designs and characterizes bias when identification conditions fail. I show that the pseudo-panel regression is equivalent to weighted least squares with…

There are many nonparametric objects of interest that are functionals of a conditional distribution, such as average treatment effects conditional on a low-dimensional set of covariates. We define a conditional influence function (CIF) as the Gateaux derivative of a conditional parameter with respect to perturbations of the conditional law of a single observation given the conditioning variable. CIFs generalize classical influence functions and can be used to (i) construct…
处理是否有益?有序结局因果推断的贝叶斯方法
Randomized experiments with ordinal outcomes are common across scientific applications, but conventional causal estimands such as the average treatment effect are difficult to interpret because ordinal categories lack meaningful numerical spacing. Two interpretable estimands, the probabilities that the treatment is beneficial and strictly beneficial, depend on the joint distribution of the potential outcomes and are therefore not identifiable from observed data. The sharp…
图分割贝叶斯因果森林:空间异质性处理效应估计
In spatial observational studies, treatment assignment and outcomes often exhibit spatial dependence patterns, and treatment effects may vary across space and subpopulations due to both measured and unmeasured spatially structured confounders. Accounting for spatial dependence while estimating heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) is a central task in spatial causal inference. Causal Bayesian additive regression tree methods are popular nonparametric methods for modeling…
切片 Lp 分布平衡方法
A popular class of causal inference methods addresses confounding through weighting, which reweights treated and control groups to balance their covariate distributions without using outcome information, thereby preserving a design-based perspective. In this paper, we propose sliced $L^p$ distributional balancing (SLDB), a family indexed by $p\in[1,\infty)$ that measures imbalance by averaging squared $L^p$ distances between the cumulative distribution functions of…
树方法中的核平衡
Studying heterogeneous treatment effects has become essential in experimental and observational studies. A critical assumption for obtaining reliable treatment effect estimates is overlap, which requires that treated and control units have sufficiently similar covariate distributions. Poor overlap may limit the effectiveness of estimators, especially those based on propensity scores, potentially leading to unreliable results. We investigate the effectiveness of kernel…
