Bayesian Network Propensity Score to Evaluate Treatment Effects in Observational Studies
用于观察性研究处理效应评估的贝叶斯网络倾向得分
This paper focuses on the Bayesian Network Propensity Score (BNPS), a novel approach for estimating treatment effects in observational studies characterized by unknown (and likely unbalanced) designs and complex dependency structures among covariates. Traditional methods, such as logistic regression, often impose rigid parametric assumptions that may lead to misspecification errors, compromising causal inference. Recent classical and machine learning alternatives, such as…
