A review of generalizability and transportability

I Degtiar, S Rose - Annual Review of Statistics and Its …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
When assessing causal effects, determining the target population to which the results are
intended to generalize is a critical decision. Randomized and observational studies each …

[HTML][HTML] Methods for integrating trials and non-experimental data to examine treatment effect heterogeneity

CL Brantner, TH Chang, TQ Nguyen… - Statistical science: a …, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Estimating treatment effects conditional on observed covariates can improve the ability to
tailor treatments to particular individuals. Doing so effectively requires dealing with potential …

Combining experimental and observational data to estimate treatment effects on long term outcomes

S Athey, R Chetty, G Imbens - arXiv preprint arXiv:2006.09676, 2020 - arxiv.org
There has been an increase in interest in experimental evaluations to estimate causal
effects, partly because their internal validity tends to be high. At the same time, as part of the …

Long-term causal inference under persistent confounding via data combination

G Imbens, N Kallus, X Mao, Y Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2202.07234, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the identification and estimation of long-term treatment effects when both
experimental and observational data are available. Since the long-term outcome is …

Federated causal inference in heterogeneous observational data

R Xiong, A Koenecke, M Powell, Z Shen… - Statistics in …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We are interested in estimating the effect of a treatment applied to individuals at multiple
sites, where data is stored locally for each site. Due to privacy constraints, individual‐level …

Combining observational and experimental datasets using shrinkage estimators

ETR Rosenman, G Basse, AB Owen, M Baiocchi - Biometrics, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the problem of combining data from observational and experimental sources to
draw causal conclusions. To derive combined estimators with desirable properties, we …

Covariate balancing sensitivity analysis for extrapolating randomized trials across locations

X Nie, G Imbens, S Wager - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.04723, 2021 - arxiv.org
The ability to generalize experimental results from randomized control trials (RCTs) across
locations is crucial for informing policy decisions in targeted regions. Such generalization is …

Falsification before extrapolation in causal effect estimation

ZM Hussain, M Oberst, MC Shih… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) represent a gold standard when developing
policy guidelines. However, RCTs are often narrow, and lack data on broader populations of …

Combining randomized field experiments with observational satellite data to assess the benefits of crop rotations on yields

With climate change threatening agricultural productivity and global food demand
increasing, it is important to better understand which farm management practices will …

Federated adaptive causal estimation (face) of target treatment effects

L Han, J Hou, K Cho, R Duan, T Cai - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.09313, 2021 - arxiv.org
Federated learning of causal estimands may greatly improve estimation efficiency by
leveraging data from multiple study sites, but robustness to heterogeneity and model …
