Simulation study of confounder-selection strategies.
In the absence of prior knowledge about population relations, investigators frequently employ a strategy that uses the data to help them decide whether to adjust for a variable. The authors compared the performance of several such strategies for fitting multiplicative Poisson regression models to cohort data: 1) the "change-in-estimate" strategy, in which a variable is controlled if the adjuste...
متن کاملStable angina: treatment selection
In the management of stable angina, there is time to optimize medical treatment while using stress testing to stratify long-term risk. Percutaneous coronary intervention does not decrease mortality or risk of myocardial infarction when compared with rigorously applied optimal medical treatment and should not be considered as part of a secondary prevention strategy. Whereas all patients should r...
متن کاملGroup selection among alternative evolutionarily stable strategies.
Many important models of the evolution of social behavior have more than one evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). Examples include co-ordination games, contests, mutualism, reciprocity, and sexual selection. Here we show that when there are multiple evolutionarily stable strategies, selection among groups can cause the spread of the strategy that has the lowest extinction rate or highest proba...
متن کاملM-estimators as GMM for Stable Laws Discretizations
This paper is devoted to "Some Discrete Distributions Generated by Standard Stable Densities" (in short, Discrete Stable Densities). The large-sample properties of M-estimators as obtained by the "Generalized Method of Moments" (GMM) are discussed for such distributions. Some corollaries are proposed. Moreover, using the respective results we demonstrate the large-sample pro...
متن کاملConfounder selection via penalized credible regions.
When estimating the effect of an exposure or treatment on an outcome it is important to select the proper subset of confounding variables to include in the model. Including too many covariates increases mean square error on the effect of interest while not including confounding variables biases the exposure effect estimate. We propose a decision-theoretic approach to confounder selection and ef...
