Two-stage Estimation for Causal Inference Involving a Semi-continuous Exposure
Xiaoya Wang, Richard J. Cook, Yeying Zhu +5
Methods for causal inference are well developed for binary and continuous exposures, but in many settings, the exposure has a substantial mass at zero-such exposures are called sem…
Semi-parametric Benchmark Dose Analysis with Monotone Additive Models
Alex Stringer, Tugba Akkaya Hocagil, Richard Cook +3
Benchmark dose analysis aims to estimate the level of exposure to a toxin that results in a clinically-significant adverse outcome and quantifies uncertainty using the lower limit…
Bayesian outcome selection modelling
Khue-Dung Dang, Louise M. Ryan, Richard J. Cook +3
Psychiatric and social epidemiology often involves assessing the effects of environmental exposure on outcomes that are difficult to measure directly. To address this problem, it i…
A Hierarchical Meta-Analysis for Settings Involving Multiple Outcomes across Multiple Cohorts
Tugba Akkaya Hocagil, Louise M. Ryan, Richard J. Cook +6
Evidence from animal models and epidemiological studies has linked prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) to a broad range of long-term cognitive and behavioral deficits. However, there i…
