Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Exponential Families.
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is a general method for estimating parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. The key step in any TMLE implementation is constructing a sequence of least-favorable parametric models for the parameter of interest. This has been done for a variety of parameters arising in causal inference problems, by augmenting standard regression models ...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Dynamic and Static Longitudinal Marginal Structural Working Models.
This paper describes a targeted maximum likelihood estimator (TMLE) for the parameters of longitudinal static and dynamic marginal structural models. We consider a longitudinal data structure consisting of baseline covariates, time-dependent intervention nodes, intermediate time-dependent covariates, and a possibly time-dependent outcome. The intervention nodes at each time point can include a ...
متن کاملTargeted maximum likelihood estimation for prediction calibration.
Estimators of the conditional expectation, i.e., prediction, function involve a global bias-variance trade off. In some cases, an estimator that yields unbiased estimates of the conditional expectation for a particular partitioning of the data may be desirable. Such estimators are calibrated with respect to the partitioning. We identify the conditional expectation given a particular partitionin...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Pharmacoepidemiologic Research
BACKGROUND Targeted maximum likelihood estimation has been proposed for estimating marginal causal effects, and is robust to misspecification of either the treatment or outcome model. However, due perhaps to its novelty, targeted maximum likelihood estimation has not been widely used in pharmacoepidemiology. The objective of this study was to demonstrate targeted maximum likelihood estimation i...
متن کاملSemiparametric Estimation of the Impacts of Longitudinal Interventions on Adolescent Obesity using Targeted Maximum-Likelihood: Accessible Estimation with the ltmle Package.
While child and adolescent obesity is a serious public health concern, few studies have utilized parameters based on the causal inference literature to examine the potential impacts of early intervention. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the causal effects of early interventions to improve physical activity and diet during adolescence on body mass index (BMI), a measure of adiposity...
