casebase: An Alternative Framework For Survival Analysis and Comparison of Event Rates
Sahir Rai Bhatnagar, Maxime Turgeon, Jesse Islam +2
In epidemiological studies of time-to-event data, a quantity of interest to the clinician and the patient is the risk of an event given a covariate profile. However, methods relyin…
Estimation of marriage incidence rates by combining two cross-sectional retrospective designs: Event history analysis of two dependent processes
Sangita Kulathinal, Minna Säävälä, Kari Auranen +1
The aim of this work is to develop methods for studying the determinants of marriage incidence using marriage histories collected under two different types of retrospective cross-s…
Causal mediation analysis decomposition of between-hospital variance
Bo Chen, Keith A. Lawson, Antonio Finelli +1
Causal variance decompositions for a given disease-specific quality indicator can be used to quantify differences in performance between hospitals or health care providers. While v…
Bayesian non-parametric ordinal regression under a monotonicity constraint
Olli Saarela, Christian Rohrbeck, Elja Arjas
Compared to the nominal scale, the ordinal scale for a categorical outcome variable has the property of making a monotonicity assumption for the covariate effects meaningful. This…
The role of exchangeability in causal inference
Olli Saarela, David A. Stephens, Erica E. M. Moodie
Though the notion of exchangeability has been discussed in the causal inference literature under various guises, it has rarely taken its original meaning as a symmetry property of…
Hierarchical causal variance decomposition for institution and provider comparisons in healthcare
Bo Chen, Olli Saarela
Disease-specific quality indicators (QIs) are used to compare institutions and health care providers in terms processes or outcomes relevant to treatment of a particular condition.…
Instrumental variable estimation of early treatment effect in randomized screening trials
Sudipta Saha, Zhihui Liu, Olli Saarela
The primary analysis of randomized screening trials for cancer typically adheres to the intention-to-screen principle, measuring cancer-specific mortality reductions between screen…
