An approach to impute missing covariates in observational studies when estimating treatment effects with propensity score matching
In many observational studies, researchers estimate treatment effects using propensity score matching techniques. Estimation of propensity scores are complicated when some values of the covariates are missing. We can use multiple imputation to create completed datasets, from which propensity scores can be computed; however, we may be sensitive to the accuracy of the imputation models. We propos...
متن کاملNumerical approximations in weighted estimating equations for regression models with missing continuous covariates
1 Summary Missing covariate data is a common problem that complicates the fitting of regression models (e.g., generalized linear models) in many applications. A recently developed technique for handling missing covariate data is the weighted estimating equations (WEE) approach (Robins et al., 1994; Lipsitz et al., 1999). In the WEE approach, the contribution to the estimating equations from a c...
متن کاملNon-parametric adjustment for covariates when estimating a treatment effect
We consider a non-parametric model for estimating the effect of a binary treatment on an outcome variable while adjusting for an observed covariate. A naive procedure consists in performing two separate non-parametric regression of the response on the covariate: one with the treated individuals and the other with the untreated. The treatment effect is then obtained by taking the difference betw...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach for Estimating Mediation Effects with Missing Data.
Methodologists have developed mediation analysis techniques for a broad range of substantive applications, yet methods for estimating mediating mechanisms with missing data have been understudied. This study outlined a general Bayesian missing data handling approach that can accommodate mediation analyses with any number of manifest variables. Computer simulation studies showed that the Bayesia...
متن کاملBias and Sensitivity Analysis When Estimating Treatment Effects from the Cox Model with Omitted Covariates
Omission of relevant covariates can lead to bias when estimating treatment or exposure effects from survival data in both randomized controlled trials and observational studies. This paper presents a general approach to assessing bias when covariates are omitted from the Cox model. The proposed method is applicable to both randomized and non-randomized studies. We distinguish between the effect...
