Undersmoothed LASSO Models for Propensity Score Weighting and Synthetic Negative Control Exposures for Bias Detection
倾向得分加权中的欠平滑LASSO与合成负对照暴露偏差检测
The propensity score (PS) is often used to control for large numbers of covariates in high-dimensional healthcare database studies. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) has become the most widely used tool for fitting large-scale PS models in these settings. LASSO uses L1 regularized regression to prevent overfitting by shrinking coefficients toward zero (setting some exactly to zero). The degree of regularization is typically selected using…
