Conservative inference for counterfactuals
In causal inference, the joint law of a set of counterfactual random variables is generally not
identified. We show that a conservative version of the joint law-corresponding to the smallest …

An approach to nonparametric inference on the causal dose response function
The causal dose response curve is commonly selected as the statistical parameter of
interest in studies where the goal is to understand the effect of a continuous exposure on an …

Nonparametric Inference on Dose-Response Curves Without the Positivity Condition
Y Zhang, YC Chen, A Giessing - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.09003, 2024 - arxiv.org
Existing statistical methods in causal inference often rely on the assumption that every
individual has some chance of receiving any treatment level regardless of its associated …

An optimal transport approach to estimating causal effects via nonlinear difference-in-differences
We propose a nonlinear difference-in-differences (DiD) method to estimate multivariate
counterfactual distributions in classical treatment and control study designs with …

Optimal transport for counterfactual estimation: A method for causal inference
Many problems ask a question that can be formulated as a causal question: what would
have happened if...? For example, would the person have had surgery if he or she had been …

Generalization bounds for estimating causal effects of continuous treatments
We focus on estimating causal effects of continuous treatments (eg, dosage in medicine),
also known as dose-response function. Existing methods in causal inference for continuous …

Optimal transport weights for causal inference
E Dunipace - arXiv preprint arXiv:2109.01991, 2021 - arxiv.org
Imbalance in covariate distributions leads to biased estimates of causal effects. Weighting
methods attempt to correct this imbalance but rely on specifying models for the treatment …

Doubly robust estimation and inference for a log-concave counterfactual density
We consider the problem of causal inference based on observational data (or the related
missing data problem) with a binary or discrete treatment variable. In that context we study …
