两阶段抽样下加权处理效应的有效估计AI 解读

Two-phase sampling offers a practical way to collect costly confounders only in a subsample while retaining inexpensive information for a larger cohort. In observational causal studies, however, phase-2 selection can distort estimation of population causal effects if the sampling mechanism is ignored, and available phase-1 information may also be exploited to improve efficiency. Yet efficiency theory for causal estimands under such designs remains limited, particularly…

因果推断中平均处理效应的抗异常值估计AI 解读

The inverse probability (IPW) and doubly robust (DR) estimators are often used to estimate the average causal effect (ATE), but are vulnerable to outliers. The IPW/DR median can be used for outlier-resistant estimation of the ATE, but the outlier resistance of the median is limited and it is not resistant enough for heavy contamination. We propose extensions of the IPW/DR estimators with density power weighting, which can eliminate the influence of outliers almost…
