Generalized Adjustment Under Confounding and Selection Biases
Selection and confounding biases are the two most common impediments to the applicability of causal inference methods in large-scale settings. We generalize the notion of backdoor adjustment to account for both biases and leverage external data that may be available without selection bias (e.g., data from census). We introduce the notion of adjustment pair and present complete graphical conditi...
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...
متن کاملSimultaneous dimension reduction and adjustment for confounding variation.
Dimension reduction methods are commonly applied to high-throughput biological datasets. However, the results can be hindered by confounding factors, either biological or technical in origin. In this study, we extend principal component analysis (PCA) to propose AC-PCA for simultaneous dimension reduction and adjustment for confounding (AC) variation. We show that AC-PCA can adjust for (i) vari...

متن کاملHealth Effects of Lesion Localization in Multiple Sclerosis: Spatial Registration and Confounding Adjustment
Brain lesion localization in multiple sclerosis (MS) is thought to be associated with the type and severity of adverse health effects. However, several factors hinder statistical analyses of such associations using large MRI datasets: 1) spatial registration algorithms developed for healthy individuals may be less effective on diseased brains and lead to different spatial distributions of lesio...
