Proximal Causal Inference for Modified Treatment Policies
修改处理政策的近端因果推断
The proximal causal inference framework enables the identification and estimation of causal effects in the presence of unmeasured confounding by leveraging two disjoint sets of observed strong proxies: negative control treatments and negative control outcomes. In the point exposure setting, this framework has primarily been applied to estimands comparing counterfactual outcomes under a static fixed intervention or, possibly randomized, regime that depends on baseline…
