将推断推广至目标总体时应对正值性违背AI 解读

Enhancing the external validity of trial results is essential for their applicability to real-world populations. However, violations of the positivity assumption can limit both the generalizability and transportability of findings. To address positivity violations in estimating the average treatment effect for a target population, we propose a framework that integrates characterizing the underrepresented group and performing sensitivity analysis for inference in the original…

利用贝叶斯非参数依赖混合模型估计限制平均生存时间AI 解读

Restricted mean survival time (RMST) is an intuitive summary statistic for time-to-event random variables, and can be used for measuring treatment effects. Compared to hazard ratio, its estimation procedure is robust against the non-proportional hazards assumption. We propose nonparametric Bayeisan (BNP) estimators for RMST using a dependent stick-breaking process prior mixture model that adjusts for mixed-type covariates. The proposed Bayesian estimators can yield both…
