We implement alternative bounding strategies to reanalyze data from the observational study by Connors et al. (1996) on the impact of Swan-Ganz catheterization on mortality outcomes. While the Connors et al.

The closure method of Marcus et al. (1976) reduces the problem of constructing such procedures to one of constructing single tests that control the usual prob...
