The identification of causal effects in observational studies typically relies on two standard assumptions: unconfoundedness and overlap. However, both assumptions are often questionable in practice: unconfoundedness is inherently untestable, and overlap may fail in the presence of extreme unmeasured confounding. While various approaches have been developed to address unmeasured confounding and extreme propensity scores separately, few methods accommodate simultaneous violations of both assumptions. In this paper, we propose a sensitivity analysis framework that relaxes both unconfoundedness and overlap, building upon the marginal sensitivity model. Specifically, we allow the bound on unmeasured confounding to hold for only a subset of the population, thereby accommodating heterogeneity in confounding and allowing treatment probabilities to be zero or one. Moreover, unlike prior work, our approach does not require bounded outcomes and focuses on overlap-weighted average treatment effects, which are both practically meaningful and robust to non-overlap. We develop computationally efficient methods to obtain worst-case bounds via linear programming, and introduce a novel augmented percentile bootstrap procedure for statistical inference. This bootstrap method handles parameters defined through over-identified estimating equations involving unobserved variables and may be of independent interest. Our work provides a unified and flexible framework for sensitivity analysis under violations of both unconfoundedness and overlap.
Motivation: Mediation analysis is an important tool for elucidating causal mechanisms in biomedical research and has recently gained increasing attention in microbiome studies. Motivated by a microbiome study of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, we investigate whether the effect of induction chemotherapy intensity on infection status is mediated through gut microbial taxa. This problem poses substantial methodological challenges due to the high dimensionality, zero…
Two frequent approaches for identifying structural VARs are external instruments, which carry economic content but are often weak, and non-Gaussianity of the shocks, which provides statistical identification but carries no economic meaning. We combine the two strategies in a single generalized method of moments framework. This hybrid approach point-identifies the target shocks while also identifying the non-target shocks up to sign and ordering. Under suitable rank…
克隆—删失—加权方法的形式化与一致性
Target trial emulation has become a standard framework for causal inference from observational data. Within this paradigm, the clone-censor-weight (CCW) methodology provides a practical way to deal with complex treatment and adherence definitions when treatment regimes are not distinguishable at baseline. Despite its increasing use, the statistical interpretation of CCW remains limited. In this work, we formalize the CCW methodology from a statistical viewpoint based on…
数据驱动亚组发现后标准试验估计量的推断
Data-driven subgroup identification is increasingly used in clinical trials, yet the effect reported for a discovered subgroup is typically the standard analysis: a Cox or generalized-linear-model treatment coefficient fitted within that subgroup. Selection by an effect-driven rule --- rewarding large estimated effects subject to screening and size criteria --- inflates the reported coefficient: a winner's curse invalidating naive intervals whether or not the identifier's…
多控制变量下工资不平等界的去偏推断
We study estimation and inference for a partially identified parameter whose identified set depends on a first-stage nuisance parameter that must itself be estimated. Combining the criterion-function approach with the theory of Neyman-orthogonal moments that underlies double/debiased machine learning, we propose a two-step procedure: the point-identified nuisance is estimated by flexible machine-learning methods, and the set-identified target is recovered as a level set of a…
双重差分与合成控制的结合:双重稳健识别和估计
Difference-in-Differences (DiD) and Synthetic Control (SC) are widely used methods for causal inference in panel data, each with distinct strengths and limitations. We propose a novel method for short-panel causal inference that integrates the advantages of both approaches. Our method delivers a doubly robust identification strategy for the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) under either of two non-nested assumptions: parallel trends or a group-level SC condition.…
