Model feedback in Bayesian propensity score estimation.
Methods based on the propensity score comprise one set of valuable tools for comparative effectiveness research and for estimating causal effects more generally. These methods typically consist of two distinct stages: (1) a propensity score stage where a model is fit to predict the propensity to receive treatment (the propensity score), and (2) an outcome stage where responses are compared in t...
متن کاملUncertain Neighbors: Bayesian Propensity Score Matching for Causal Inference
In this paper we compare the performance of standard nearest-neighbor propensity score matching with that of an analogous Bayesian propensity score matching procedure. We show that the Bayesian approach has several advantages, including that it makes better use of available information, since it makes less arbitrary decisions about which observations to drop and which ones to keep in the matche...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of a Proportion under Nonignorable Nonresponse
We use a Dirichlet process prior (DPP) to restrict the pooling of nonresponse binary data from small areas which may seem to be similar. Our objective is to estimate the proportion of individuals with a particular characteristic from each of a number of areas under nonignorable nonresponse. All hyperparameters have proper prior densities. The griddy Gibbs sampler is used to perform the computat...
متن کاملApproximate Decentralized Bayesian Inference
This paper presents an approximate method for performing Bayesian inference in models with conditional independence over a decentralized network of learning agents. The method first employs variational inference on each individual learning agent to generate a local approximate posterior, the agents transmit their local posteriors to other agents in the network, and finally each agent combines i...
متن کاملError Estimation in Approximate Bayesian Belief Network Inference
We can perform inference in Bayesian be lief networks by enumerating instantiations with high probability thus approximating the marginals. In this paper, we present a method for determining the fraction of in stantiations that has to be considered such that the absolute error in the marginals does not exceed a predefined value. The method is based on extreme value theory. Essentially, the pr...
