An optimization approach for making causal inferences
To make causal inferences from observational data, researchers have often turned to matching methods. These methods are variably successful. We address issues with matching methods by redefining the matching problem as a subset selection problem. Given a set of covariates, we seek to find two subsets, a control group and a treatment group, so that we obtain optimal balance, or, in other words, ...

متن کاملRunning head: CAUSAL INFERENCES FROM LONGITUDINAL DATA
Analyses of passive longitudinal data can yield causally relevant evidence only to the extent that plausible alternative explanations are ruled out. This study compared the ability of five types of longitudinal analyses to correct for selection biases confounded with corrective interventions, using a cohort of 1464 4and 5-year-olds from Canadian NLSCY data. Three lines of evidence indicated tha...
متن کاملAttributes for Causal Inference in Longitudinal Observational Databases
The pharmaceutical industry is plagued by the problem of side effects that can occur anytime a prescribed medication is ingested. There has been a recent interest in using the vast quantities of medical data available in longitudinal observational databases to identify causal relationships between drugs and medical events. Unfortunately the majority of existing post marketing surveillance algor...
