Causal Inference for Complex Longitudinal Data: the continuous case
We extend Robins’ theory of causal inference for complex longitudinal data to the case of continuously varying as opposed to discrete covariates and treatments. In particular we establish versions of the key results of the discrete theory: the g-computation formula and a collection of powerful characterizations of the g-null hypothesis of no treatment effect. This is accomplished under natural ...
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 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 with Panel Data
For nearly half a century, the fundamental problem for statistical analysis in the social sciences has been how to make causal inferences from nonexperimental data (Blalock 1961). For nearly as long, there has been a widespread consensus that the best kind of nonexperimental data for making causal inferences is longitudinal data. Unfortunately, there has not been nearly as much consensus on the...
متن کاملCausal Reasoning from Longitudinal Data*
This paper reviews some of the key statistical ideas that are encountered when trying to find empirical support to causal interpretations and conclusions, by applying statistical methods on experimental or observational longitudinal data. In such data, typically a collection of individuals are followed over time, then each one has registered a sequence of covariate measurements along with value...
