Systematizing the Evaluation of Partially Controlled Studies Using Principal Stratifictaion: from Theory to Practice
We often wish to evaluate treatments and other factors in studies where only some of those factors are directly controlled by the investigators. The framework of “principal stratification” has been proposed recently for evaluating partially controlled studies under such broader settings (Frangakis and Rubin (2002)). We have developed a software package, “PSpack”, with appropriate documentation ...
متن کامل“Equivalent Linear Composition” as an Efficient Stratification Factor in Multipurpose Surveys
Horticulture survey is a multi-purpose survey which is conducted ad hoc by Statistical Center of Iran (SCI). Availability of survey variables in the sampling frame suggests a multivariate stratification in each province based on its desired variables for acquiring a higher efficiency. There are several ways to stratify the sampling frame considering all stratification variables, such as using s...
متن کاملA refreshing account of principal stratification.
Pearl (2011) invites researchers to contribute to a discussion on the logic and utility of principal stratification in causal inference, raising some thought-provoking questions. In our commentary, we discuss the role of principal stratification in causal inference, describing why we view the principal stratification framework as useful for addressing causal inference problems where causal esti...
متن کاملClarifying the role of principal stratification in the paired availability design.
The paired availability design for historical controls postulated four classes corresponding to the treatment (old or new) a participant would receive if arrival occurred during either of two time periods associated with different availabilities of treatment. These classes were later extended to other settings and called principal strata. Judea Pearl asks if principal stratification is a goal o...
