A Boosting Algorithm for Estimating Generalized Propensity Scores with Continuous Treatments.
In this article, we study the causal inference problem with a continuous treatment variable using propensity score-based methods. For a continuous treatment, the generalized propensity score is defined as the conditional density of the treatment-level given covariates (confounders). The dose-response function is then estimated by inverse probability weighting, where the weights are calculated f...
متن کاملEstimation of propensity scores using generalized additive models.
Propensity score matching is often used in observational studies to create treatment and control groups with similar distributions of observed covariates. Typically, propensity scores are estimated using logistic regressions that assume linearity between the logistic link and the predictors. We evaluate the use of generalized additive models (GAMs) for estimating propensity scores. We compare l...
متن کاملGeneralized Continuous Frames for Operators
In this note, the notion of generalized continuous K- frame in a Hilbert space is defined. Examples have been given to exhibit the existence of generalized continuous $K$-frames. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a generalized continuous $K$-frame in terms of its frame operator is obtained and a characterization of a generalized continuous $K$-frame for $ mathcal{H} $ wi...

It is a collaborative network of research centers that support the rapid development of new scientific information and analytic tools. The DEcIDE network assists health care providers, patients, and policymakers seeking unbiased information about the outcomes, cli...
متن کاملContinuous Decision Variables with Multiple Continuous Parents
This paper introduces an influence diagram (ID) model that permits continuous decision variables with multiple continuous parents. The marginalization operation for a continuous decision variable first develops a piecewise linear decision rule as a continuous function of the next continuous parent in the deletion sequence. Least squares regression is used to convert this rule to a piecewise lin...
