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 کاملEvaluating Costs with Unmeasured Confounding: a Sensitivity Analysis for the Treatment Effect.
Estimates of the effects of treatment on cost from observational studies are subject to bias if there are unmeasured confounders. It is therefore advisable in practice to assess the potential magnitude of such biases. We derive a general adjustment formula for loglinear models of mean cost and explore special cases under plausible assumptions about the distribution of the unmeasured confounder....
متن کاملIndividualized treatment rules: generating candidate clinical trials.
Individualized treatment rules, or rules for altering treatments over time in response to changes in individual covariates, are of primary importance in the practice of clinical medicine. Several statistical methods aim to estimate the rule, termed an optimal dynamic treatment regime, which will result in the best expected outcome in a population. In this article, we discuss estimation of an al...
متن کاملPerformance Guarantees for Individualized Treatment Rules.
Because many illnesses show heterogeneous response to treatment, there is increasing interest in individualizing treatment to patients [11]. An individualized treatment rule is a decision rule that recommends treatment according to patient characteristics. We consider the use of clinical trial data in the construction of an individualized treatment rule leading to highest mean response. This is...
متن کاملRanking and Selecting Services
Service composition is the most recent approach to software reuse. The interactions among services propose many problems already approached in the composition of software components even if introducing more issues related to the run-time composition that is very limited in the components world. One of such problems is the identification of a set of services that can be integrated to build a com...
