Minimal sufficient causation and directed acyclic graphs
Tyler J. VanderWeele, James M. Robins
Notions of minimal sufficient causation are incorporated within the directed acyclic graph causal framework. Doing so allows for the graphical representation of sufficient causes a…
Higher order influence functions and minimax estimation of nonlinear functionals
James Robins, Lingling Li, Eric Tchetgen +1
We present a theory of point and interval estimation for nonlinear functionals in parametric, semi-, and non-parametric models based on higher order influence functions (Robins (20…
Adaptive nonparametric confidence sets
James Robins, Aad van der Vaart
We construct honest confidence regions for a Hilbert space-valued parameter in various statistical models. The confidence sets can be centered at arbitrary adaptive estimators, and…
Estimating the causal effect of a time-varying treatment on time-to-event using structural nested failure time models
J. J. Lok, R. D. Gill, A. W. van der Vaart +1
In this paper we review an approach to estimating the causal effect of a time-varying treatment on time to some event of interest. This approach is designed for the situation where…
