Coarsening Bias: How Coarse Treatment Measurement Upwardly Biases Instrumental Variable Estimates
ing from the noise, potential outcomes are thus Yit=Yi0+0.05t = 0.4+0.05I(t ≥ 11). Inboth cases, the standard IV assumptions (A1-A5) hold. However, the strong exclusion restriction(A5*) only holds for the single jump CRF.

متن کاملHow to compare instrumental variable and conventional regression analyses using negative controls and bias plots
There is increasing interest in the use of instrumental variable analysis to overcome unmeasured confounding in observational pharmacoepidemiological studies. This is partly because instrumental variable analyses are potentially less biased than conventional regression analyses. However, instrumental variable analyses are less precise, and regulators and clinicians find it difficult to interpre...
متن کاملBias Reduction in Instrumental Variable Estimation through First-Stage Shrinkage
The two-stage least-squares (2SLS) estimator is known to be biased when its first-stage fit is poor. I show that better first-stage prediction can alleviate this bias. In a two-stage linear regression model with Normal noise, I consider shrinkage in the estimation of the first-stage instrumental variable coefficients. For at least four instrumental variables and a single endogenous regressor, I...
متن کاملReducing the variance of the prescribing preference-based instrumental variable estimates of the treatment effect.
Instrumental variable (IV) methods based on the physician's prescribing preference may remove bias due to unobserved confounding in pharmacoepidemiologic studies. However, IV estimates, originally defined as the treatment prescribed for a single previous patient of a given physician, show important variance inflation. The authors proposed and validated in simulations a new method to reduce the ...
