Guided Bayesian imputation to adjust for confounding when combining heterogeneous data sources in comparative effectiveness research.
In comparative effectiveness research, we are often interested in the estimation of an average causal effect from large observational data (the main study). Often this data does not measure all the necessary confounders. In many occasions, an extensive set of additional covariates is measured for a smaller and non-representative population (the validation study). In this setting, standard appro...
متن کاملWhen to rebuild or when to adjust scorecards
Data based scorecards, such as those used in credit scoring, age with time and need to be rebuilt or readjusted. Unlike the huge literature on modelling the replacement and maintenance of equipment there have been hardly any models which deal with this problem for scorecards. This paper identifies an effective way of describing the predictive ability of the scorecard and from this describes a s...
متن کاملPropensity score methods to adjust for confounding in assessing treatment effects: bias and precision
There is an increasing interest in the use of propensity score (PS) methods for confounding control, with generally three ways of estimating adjusted treatment effects in pharmacoepidemiological studies: 1) stratification on PS, 2) matching on PS and 3) using PS as a covariate. To assess bias and precision of different methods, we conducted simulations in three scenarios: 1) treatment had no ef...

متن کاملWhen Should You Adjust Standard Errors for Clustering?∗
In empirical work in economics it is common to report standard errors that account for clustering of units. Typically, the motivation given for the clustering adjustments is that unobserved components in outcomes for units within clusters are correlated. However, because correlation may occur across more than one dimension, this motivation makes it difficult to justify why researchers use clust...
