Estimating Average Causal Effects Under General Interference
This paper presents randomization-based methods for estimating average causal effects under arbitrary interference of known form. Conservative estimators of the randomization variance of the average treatment effects estimators are presented, as is justification for confidence intervals based on a normal approximation. Examples relevant to research in environmental protection, networks experime...
متن کاملEstimating the causal effect of gun prevalence on homicide rates: a local average treatment effect approach
Estimating the Causal Effect of Gun Prevalence on Homicide Rates: A Local Average Treatment Effect Approach This paper uses a “local average treatment effect” (LATE) framework in an attempt to disentangle the separate effects of criminal and noncriminal gun prevalence on violence rates. We first show that a number of previous studies have failed to properly address the problems of endogeneity, ...
متن کاملMultilevel Propensity Score Methods for Estimating Causal Effects: A Latent Class Modeling Strategy
Despite their appeal, randomized experiments cannot always be conducted, for example, due to ethical or practical reasons. In order to remove selection bias and draw causal inferences from observational data, propensity score matching techniques have gained increased popularity during the past three decades. Although propensity score methods have been studied extensively for single-level data, ...
متن کاملAn application of Measurement error evaluation using latent class analysis
Latent class analysis (LCA) is a method of evaluating non sampling errors, especially measurement error in categorical data. Biemer (2011) introduced four latent class modeling approaches: probability model parameterization, log linear model, modified path model, and graphical model using path diagrams. These models are interchangeable. Latent class probability models express l...
متن کاملThe causal meaning of Fisher's average effect.
In order to formulate the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection, Fisher defined the average excess and average effect of a gene substitution. Finding these notions to be somewhat opaque, some authors have recommended reformulating Fisher's ideas in terms of covariance and regression, which are classical concepts of statistics. We argue that Fisher intended his two averages to express a disti...
