Estimating the Net Survival of Patients with Gastric Cancer in Iran in a Relative Survival Framework
Background: Iran is an Eastern Mediterranean region country with the highest rate of gastric cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the 5-year net survival of patients with gastric cancer in Iran using a relative survival framework.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, using life-table estimation of relative survival, we reported 1- to 5-year relative survival regarding age, sex, disease st...
متن کاملMarginal versus conditional causal effects
Available online at: http://jbe.tums.ac.ir Conditional methods of adjustment are often used to quantify the effect of the exposure on the outcome. As a result, the stratums-specific risk ratio estimates are reported in the presence of interaction between exposure and confounder(s) in the literature, even if the target of the intervention on the exposure is the total population and the interacti...

متن کاملSet estimation of linear causal effects using relative correlation restrictions∗
This paper describes and implements a simple and relatively conservative approach to the most common problem in applied microeconometrics: estimating a linear causal effect when the explanatory variable of interest might be correlated with relevant unobserved variables. The main idea is to use the sample correlation between the variable of interest and observed control variables to suggest a ra...
متن کاملNon-linear Causal Inference using Gaussianity Measures
We provide theoretical and empirical evidence for a type of asymmetry between causes and effects that is present when these are related via linear models contaminated with additive non-Gaussian noise. Assuming that the causes and the effects have the same distribution, we show that the distribution of the residuals of a linear fit in the anti-causal direction is closer to a Gaussian than the di...
