Regression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology: Causal Inference Without Randomized Trials
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. the regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. in spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...

متن کاملRunning head: MULTIPLE RATING-SCORE REGRESSION DISCONTINUITY Regression discontinuity designs with multiple rating-score variables
In the absence of a randomized control trial, regression discontinuity (RD) designs can produce plausible estimates of the treatment effect on an outcome for individuals near a cutoff score. In the standard RD design, individuals with rating scores higher than some exogenously determined cutoff score are assigned to one treatment condition; those with rating scores below the cutoff score are as...
متن کاملUnderstanding Regression Discontinuity Designs As Observational Studies
Thistlethwaite and Campbell (1960) proposed to use a “regression-discontinuity analysis” in settings where exposure to a treatment or intervention is determined by an observable score and a fixed cutoff. The type of setting they described, now widely known as the regression discontinuity (RD) design, is one where units receive a score, and a binary treatment is assigned according to a very spec...
