Handling outcome-dependent missingness with binary responses: A Heckman-like model

Marco Doretti, Elena Stanghellini, Alessandro Taraborrelli

In regression models with missing outcomes, selection bias can arise when the missingness mechanism depends on the outcome itself. This proposal focuses on an extension of the Heck…

Interval identification of natural effects in the presence of outcome-related unmeasured confounding

Marco Doretti, Elena Stanghellini

With reference to a binary outcome and a binary mediator, we derive identification bounds for natural effects under a reduced set of assumptions. Specifically, no assumptions about…

Omitting continuous covariates in binary regression models: implications for sensitivity and mediation analysis

Matteo Gasparin, Bruno Scarpa, Elena Stanghellini

By exploiting the theory of skew-symmetric distributions, we generalise existing results in sensitivity analysis by providing the analytic expression of the bias induced by margina…

Mediation analysis with case-control sampling: Identification and estimation in the presence of a binary mediator

Marco Doretti, Minna Genbäck, Elena Stanghellini

With reference to a stratified case-control procedure based on a binary variable of primary interest, we derive the expression of the distortion induced by the sampling design on t…

Exact mediation analysis for ordinal outcome and binary mediator

Elena Stanghellini, Maria Kateri

With reference to a single mediator context, this brief report presents a model-based strategy to estimate counterfactual direct and indirect effects when the response variable is…

Path Analysis for Binary Random Variables

Martina Raggi, Elena Stanghellini, Marco Doretti

The decomposition of the overall effect of a treatment into direct and indirect effects is here investigated with reference to a recursive system of binary random variables. We sho…

Exact parametric causal mediation analysis for a binary outcome with a binary mediator

Marco Doretti, Martina Raggi, Elena Stanghellini

A parametric expression for causal natural direct and indirect effects is derived for the setting of a binary outcome with a binary mediator. The proposed effect decomposition does…

On marginal and conditional parameters in logistic regression models

Elena Stanghellini, Marco Doretti

A fundamental research question is how much a variation in a covariate influences a binary response variable in a logistic regression model, both directly or through mediators. We…

Parameter identifiability of discrete Bayesian networks with hidden variables

Elizabeth S. Allman, John A. Rhodes, Elena Stanghellini +1

Identifiability of parameters is an essential property for a statistical model to be useful in most settings. However, establishing parameter identifiability for Bayesian networks…

Identification of discrete concentration graph models with one hidden binary variable

Elena Stanghellini, Barbara Vantaggi

Conditions are presented for different types of identifiability of discrete variable models generated over an undirected graph in which one node represents a binary hidden variable…
