Causal inference using potential outcomes: Design, modeling, decisions

DB Rubin - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
Causal effects are defined as comparisons of potential outcomes under different treatments
on a common set of units. Observed values of the potential outcomes are revealed by the …

Study designs for extending causal inferences from a randomized trial to a target population

IJ Dahabreh, SJPA Haneuse, JM Robins… - American journal of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
In this article, we examine study designs for extending (generalizing or transporting) causal
inferences from a randomized trial to a target population. Specifically, we consider nested …

A distributional approach for causal inference using propensity scores

Z Tan - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
Drawing inferences about the effects of treatments and actions is a common challenge in
economics, epidemiology, and other fields. We adopt Rubin's potential outcomes framework …

A tutorial on individualized treatment effect prediction from randomized trials with a binary endpoint

J Hoogland, J IntHout, M Belias, MM Rovers… - Statistics in …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Randomized trials typically estimate average relative treatment effects, but decisions on the
benefit of a treatment are possibly better informed by more individualized predictions of the …

Estimating causal effects from large data sets using propensity scores

DB Rubin - Annals of internal medicine, 1997 - acpjournals.org
The aim of many analyses of large databases is to draw causal inferences about the effects
of actions, treatments, or interventions. Examples include the effects of various options …

Introduction to computational causal inference using reproducible Stata, R, and Python code: A tutorial

MJ Smith, MA Mansournia, C Maringe… - Statistics in …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
