The Evaluation of Causal Effects in Studies with an Unobserved Exposure/Outcome Variable: Bounds and Identification
This paper deals with the problem of evaluating the causal effect using observational data in the presence of an unobserved exposure/outcome variable, when cause-effect relationships between variables can be described as a directed acyclic graph and the corresponding recursive factorization of a joint distribution. First, we propose identifiability criteria for causal effects when an unobserved...

Abstract Several studies show that attachment styles can have a significant impact on the couple’s marital quality. This impact can be direct or indirect and can be in interaction with other significant psychological variables such as relationship attributions and conflict resolution strategies. This study aimed to investigate direct ...
متن کاملCausal Inference in Multi-Agent Causal Models
This paper treats the calculation of the effect of an intervention (also called causal effect) on a variable from a combination of observational data and some theoretical assumptions. Observational data implies that the modeler has no way to do experiments to assess the effect of one variable on some others, instead he possesses data collected by observing variables in the domain he is investig...
متن کاملCause-selecting Charts based on Proportional Hazards and Binary Frailty Models (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
Monitoring the reliability of products in both the manufacturing and service processes is of main concern in today’s competitive market. To this end, statistical process control has been widely used to control the reliability-related quality variables. The so-far surveillance schemes have addressed processes with independent quality characteristics. In multistage processes, however, the cascade...
متن کاملAssessing bias in the estimation of causal effects: Rosenbaum bounds on matching estimators and instrumental variables estimation with imperfect instruments
Propensity score matching provides an estimate of the effect of a “treatment” variable on an outcome variable that is largely free of bias arising from an association between treatment status and observable variables. However, matching methods are not robust against “hidden bias” arising from unobserved variables that simultaneously affect assignment to treatment and the outcome variable. One s...
