作为观察数据效应估计工具的残差对残差回归AI 解读

Epidemiologists increasingly use machine learning to adjust for high-dimensional confounding. Augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) and targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) are most widely used but may yield different results and both can become unstable under weak positivity violations. Residual-on-residual regression is a stable alternative that estimates an exposure effect encoded in a partially linear model by fitting confounder adjusted models for the…

因果效应推广与迁移的高效方法AI 解读

When estimating causal effects, it is important to assess external validity, i.e., determine how useful a given study is to inform a practical question for a specific target population. One challenge is that the covariate distribution in the population underlying a study may be different from that in the target population. If some covariates are effect modifiers, the average treatment effect (ATE) may not generalize to the target population. To tackle this problem, we…
