Sensitivity analysis for interactions under unmeasured confounding.
We develop a sensitivity analysis technique to assess the sensitivity of interaction analyses to unmeasured confounding. We give bias formulas for sensitivity analysis for interaction under unmeasured confounding on both additive and multiplicative scales. We provide simplified formulas in the case in which either one of the two factors does not interact with the unmeasured confounder in its ef...
متن کاملBayesian sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding in observational studies.
We consider Bayesian sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding in observational studies where the association between a binary exposure, binary response, measured confounders and a single binary unmeasured confounder can be formulated using logistic regression models. A model for unmeasured confounding is presented along with a family of prior distributions that model beliefs about a poss...
متن کاملThe sign of the bias of unmeasured confounding.
Unmeasured confounding variables are a common problem in drawing causal inferences in observational studies. A theorem is given which in certain circumstances allows the researcher to draw conclusions about the sign of the bias of unmeasured confounding. Specifically, it is possible to determine the sign of the bias when monotonicity relationships hold between the unmeasured confounding variabl...
متن کاملSharp sensitivity bounds for mediation under unmeasured mediator-outcome confounding
It is often of interest to decompose the total effect of an exposure into a component that acts on the outcome through some mediator and a component that acts independently through other pathways. Said another way, we are interested in the direct and indirect effects of the exposure on the outcome. Even if the exposure is randomly assigned, it is often infeasible to randomize the mediator, leav...
متن کاملPropensity Score Adjustment for Unmeasured Confounding in Observational Studies
Adjusting for several unmeasured confounders is a challenging problem in the analysis of observational data. Information about unmeasured confounders is sometimes available from external validation data, such as surveys or secondary samples drawn from the same source population. In principal, the validation permits us to recover information about the missing data, but the difficulty is in elici...
