Resampling-based confidence intervals and bands for the average treatment effect in observational studies with competing risks
竞争风险观察研究中平均处理效应的重抽样置信区间与置信带
The g-formula can be used to estimate the treatment effect while accounting for confounding bias in observational studies. With regard to time-to-event endpoints, possibly subject to competing risks, the construction of valid pointwise confidence intervals and time-simultaneous confidence bands for the causal risk difference is complicated, however. A convenient solution is to approximate the asymptotic distribution of the corresponding stochastic process by means of…
