D-optimal plans in observational studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the use of Design of Experiments in observational studies in order to select informative observations and features for classification. D-optimal plans are searched for in existing data and based on these plans the variables most relevant for classification are determined. The adapted models are then compared with respect to their predictive accuracy on an independent test sample. Eight different data sets are investigated by this method.

In the current study, a dose-response meta-analysis was conducted on epidemiologic studies that evaluated this association in adults. Methods: We performed a systematic search of all published articles, up to May 2020, in five...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Causal Effect of Control Plans in Nonrecursive Structural Equation Models
When observational data is available from practical studies and a directed cyclic graph for how various variables affect each other is known based on substantive understanding of the process, we consider a problem in which a control plan of a treatment variable is conducted in order to bring a response variable close to a target value with variation reduction. We formulate an optimal control pl...
