Causal inference with observational data
Identifying the causal impact of some variables X on y is difficult in the best of circumstances, but faces seemingly insurmountable problems in observational data, where X is not manipulable by the researcher and cannot be randomly assigned. Nevertheless, estimating such an impact or “treatment effect” is the goal of much research, even much research that carefully states all findings in terms...
متن کاملCausal Inference in Observational Data
Our aging population increasingly suffers from multiple chronic diseases simultaneously, necessitating the comprehensive treatment of these conditions. Finding the optimal set of drugs and interventions for a combinatorial set of diseases is a combinatorial pattern exploration problem. Association rule mining is a popular tool for such problems, but the requirement of health care for finding ca...
متن کاملCausal Methods for Observational Data
Comparative effectiveness research often uses non-experimental observational data (like hospital discharge records or nationally representative surveys) to draw causal inference about the effectiveness of interventions for health. These ex post inferences require the careful use of specialized statistical methods in order to account for issues like selection bias and unmeasured heterogeneity. T...

We start with the simple panel data of two waves and assume that the outcome variables are measured before and after the administration of the treatment. We use Y0i and Y1i to denote the observed outcomes for time 0 (pre-treatment) and time 1 (post-treatment). Finally, let Gi be the binary indicator variable which indicates the group membership of unit i (Gi = 1 for the treatment group and Gi =...
