Causal inference for the expected number of recurrent events in the presence of a terminal event
存在终末事件时复发事件期望次数的因果推断
While recurrent event analyses have been extensively studied, limited attention has been given to causal inference within the framework of recurrent event analysis. We develop a multiply robust estimation framework for causal inference in recurrent event data with a terminal failure event. We define our estimand as the vector comprising both the expected number of recurrent events and the failure survival function evaluated along a sequence of landmark times. We show that…
