Like propensity scores, IVs can adjust for both observed and unobserved confounding effects. Other methods of adjusting for confounding effects, which include stratification, matching and multiple reg...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Instrumental Variables Analysis: Part 1
There are several examples in the medical literature where the associations of treatment effects predicted by observational studies have been refuted by evidence from subsequent large-scale randomised trials. This is because of the fact that non-experimental studies are subject to confounding – and confounding cannot be entirely eliminated even if all known confounders have been measured in the...
