در این پایان نامه نشان داده ایم که چگونه می توان مدل ریسک بیمه ای اسپیرر اندرسون را به کمک زنجیره های مارکوف تعریف کرد. سپس به کمک روش های آنالیز ماتریسی احتمال برشکستگی ، میزان مازاد در هنگام برشکستگی و میزان کسری بودجه در زمان وقوع برشکستگی را محاسبه کرده ایم. هدف ما در این پایان نامه بسیار محاسباتی و کاربردی تر از روش های است که در گذشته برای محاسبه این احتمال ارائه شده است. در ابتدا ما نشا...
15 صفحه اولComparing approaches to causal inference for longitudinal data: inverse probability weighting versus propensity scores.
In observational studies for causal effects, treatments are assigned to experimental units without the benefits of randomization. As a result, there is the potential for bias in the estimation of the treatment effect. Two methods for estimating the causal effect consistently are Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW) and the Propensity Score (PS). We demonstrate that in many simple c...
متن کاملInstrumental variables and inverse probability weighting for causal inference from longitudinal observational studies.
Inferring causal effects from longitudinal repeated measures data has high relevance to a number of areas of research, including economics, social sciences and epidemiology. In observational studies in particular, the treatment receipt mechanism is typically not under the control of the investigator; it can depend on various factors, including the outcome of interest. This results in differenti...
متن کاملIdentifying Causal Mechanisms (primarily) Based on Inverse Probability Weighting
This paper demonstrates the identification of causal mechanisms of a binary treatment under selection on observables, (primarily) based on inverse probability weighting; i.e. we consider the average indirect effect of the treatment, which operates through an intermediate variable (or mediator) that is situated on the causal path between the treatment and the outcome, as well as the (unmediated)...
متن کاملInverse probability weighting.
Statistical analysis usually treats all observations as equally important. In some circumstances, however, it is appropriate to vary the weight given to different observations. Well known examples are in meta-analysis, where the inverse variance (precision) weight given to each contributing study varies, and in the analysis of clustered data. Differential weighting is also used when different p...
