Global sensitivity analysis for studies extending inferences from a randomized trial to a target population
将随机试验推断推广至目标总体的全局敏感性分析
When individuals participating in a randomized trial differ with respect to the distribution of effect modifiers compared compared with the target population where the trial results will be used, treatment effect estimates from the trial may not directly apply to target population. Methods for extending -- generalizing or transporting -- causal inferences from the trial to the target population rely on conditional exchangeability assumptions between randomized and…
