离散化时间尺度在连续时间处理因果推断中的作用AI 解读

There are well-established methods for identifying the causal effect of a time-varying treatment applied at discrete time points. However, in the real world, many treatments are continuous or have a finer time scale than the one used for measurement or analysis. While researchers have investigated the discrepancies between estimates under varying discretization scales using simulations and empirical data, it is still unclear how the choice of discretization scale affects…

连续时间随机过程的因果识别AI 解读

Many real-world processes are trajectories that may be regarded as continuous-time "functional data". Examples include patients' biomarker concentrations, environmental pollutant levels, and prices of stocks. Corresponding advances in data collection have yielded near continuous-time measurements, from e.g. physiological monitors, wearable digital devices, and environmental sensors. Statistical methodology for estimating the causal effect of a time-varying treatment,…

群组人群中传染病干预效应的因果识别AI 解读

Causal identification of treatment effects for infectious disease outcomes in interconnected populations is challenging because infection outcomes may be transmissible to others, and treatment given to one individual may affect others' outcomes. Contagion, or transmissibility of outcomes, complicates standard conceptions of treatment interference in which an intervention delivered to one individual can affect outcomes of others. Several statistical frameworks have been…
