Instrumental variables (IVs) enable causal estimates in observational studies to be obtained in the presence of unmeasured confounders. In practice, a diverse range of models and IV specifications can be brought to bear on a problem, partic...
Bias and variance trade-offs when combining propensity score weighting and regression: with an application to HIV status and homeless men [0.03%]
倾向值加权与回归结合时的偏差和方差权衡问题——以艾滋病状况和无家可归男性为例研究

Daniela Golinelli et al.
The quality of propensity scores is traditionally measured by assessing how well they make the distributions of covariates in the treatment and control groups match, which we refer to as "good balance". Good balance guarantees less biased e...
Assessing the Sensitivity of Treatment Effect Estimates to Differential Follow-Up Rates: Implications for Translational Research [0.03%]
