Causal Methods for Observational Data
Comparative effectiveness research often uses non-experimental observational data (like hospital discharge records or nationally representative surveys) to draw causal inference about the effectiveness of interventions for health. These ex post inferences require the careful use of specialized statistical methods in order to account for issues like selection bias and unmeasured heterogeneity. T...
متن کاملCausal inference with observational data
Identifying the causal impact of some variables X on y is difficult in the best of circumstances, but faces seemingly insurmountable problems in observational data, where X is not manipulable by the researcher and cannot be randomly assigned. Nevertheless, estimating such an impact or “treatment effect” is the goal of much research, even much research that carefully states all findings in terms...
متن کاملCausal Inference in Observational Data
Our aging population increasingly suffers from multiple chronic diseases simultaneously, necessitating the comprehensive treatment of these conditions. Finding the optimal set of drugs and interventions for a combinatorial set of diseases is a combinatorial pattern exploration problem. Association rule mining is a popular tool for such problems, but the requirement of health care for finding ca...
متن کاملMatching methods for causal inference: Designing observational studies
Much research in the social sciences attempts to estimate the effect of some intervention or “treatment” such as a school dropout prevention program or television watching. However, particularly in the social sciences, it is generally not possible to randomly assign units to receive the treatment condition or the control condition, and thus the resulting data are observational, where we simply ...
