Matching methods for observational microarray studies
MOTIVATION We address the problem of identifying differentially expressed genes between two conditions in the scenario where the data arise from an observational study, in which confounding factors are likely to be present. RESULTS We suggest to use matching methods to balance two groups of observed cases on measured covariates, and to identify differentially expressed genes using a test suit...
متن کاملMatching methods for causal inference: Designing observational studies
Much research in the social sciences attempts to estimate the effect of some intervention or “treatment” such as a school dropout prevention program or television watching. However, particularly in the social sciences, it is generally not possible to randomly assign units to receive the treatment condition or the control condition, and thus the resulting data are observational, where we simply ...
متن کاملPropensity Score Matching for Multiple Treatments Comparison in Observational Studies
A major limitation of making inference about treatment effect based on observational data from a non-randomized study designs is the treatment selection bias, in which the baseline characteristics of population under one treatment could dramatically differ from the other one. If not handle properly, such sources of heterogeneity will introduce confounding effect into causaleffect relationship a...
