附加因素分配机制未知时的处理与对照研究因果推断AI 解读

Consider a situation with two treatments, the first of which is randomized but the second is not, and the multifactor version of this. Interest is in treatment effects, defined using standard factorial notation. We define estimators for the treatment effects and explore their properties when there is information about the nonrandomized treatment assignment and when there is no information on the assignment of the nonrandomized treatment. We show when and how hidden…

基于主成分分析的再随机化AI 解读

Mahalanobis distance between treatment group and control group covariate means is often adopted as a balance criterion when implementing a rerandomization strategy. However, this criterion may not work well for high-dimensional cases because it balances all orthogonalized covariates equally. Here, we propose leveraging principal component analysis (PCA) to identify proper subspaces in which Mahalanobis distance should be calculated. Not only can PCA effectively reduce the…
