Rerandomization in Factorial Experiments

Xinran Li, Peng Ding, Donald B. Rubin

With many pretreatment covariates and treatment factors, the classical factorial experiment often fails to balance covariates across multiple factorial effects simultaneously. Ther…

Asymptotic Theory of Rerandomization in Treatment-Control Experiments

Xinran Li, Peng Ding, Donald B. Rubin

Although complete randomization ensures covariate balance on average, the chance for observing significant differences between treatment and control covariate distributions increas…

Rerandomization to improve covariate balance in experiments

Kari Lock Morgan, Donald B. Rubin

Randomized experiments are the "gold standard" for estimating causal effects, yet often in practice, chance imbalances exist in covariate distributions between treatment groups. If…

Causal Inference Through Potential Outcomes and Principal Stratification: Application to Studies with "Censoring" Due to Death

Donald B. Rubin

Causal inference is best understood using potential outcomes. This use is particularly important in more complex settings, that is, observational studies or randomized experiments…

Affinely invariant matching methods with discriminant mixtures of proportional ellipsoidally symmetric distributions

Donald B. Rubin, Elizabeth A. Stuart

In observational studies designed to estimate the effects of interventions or exposures, such as cigarette smoking, it is desirable to try to control background differences between…

Estimating the Causal Effects of Marketing Interventions Using Propensity Score Methodology

Donald B. Rubin, Richard P. Waterman

Propensity score methods were proposed by Rosenbaum and Rubin [Biometrika 70 (1983) 41--55] as central tools to help assess the causal effects of interventions. Since their introdu…
