An Interventionist Approach to Mediation Analysis
James M. Robins, Thomas S. Richardson, Ilya Shpitser
Judea Pearl's insight that, when errors are assumed independent, the Pure (aka Natural) Direct Effect (PDE) is non-parametrically identified via the Mediation Formula was `path-bre…
Multivariate Counterfactual Systems And Causal Graphical Models
Ilya Shpitser, Thomas S. Richardson, James M. Robins
Among Judea Pearl's many contributions to Causality and Statistics, the graphical d-separation} criterion, the do-calculus and the mediation formula stand out. In this chapter we s…
Estimation of local treatment effects under the binary instrumental variable model
Linbo Wang, Yuexia Zhang, Thomas S. Richardson +1
Instrumental variables are widely used to deal with unmeasured confounding in observational studies and imperfect randomized controlled trials. In these studies, researchers often…
Empirical Bayes for Large-scale Randomized Experiments: a Spectral Approach
F. Richard Guo, James McQueen, Thomas S. Richardson
Large-scale randomized experiments, sometimes called A/B tests, are increasingly prevalent in many industries. Though such experiments are often analyzed via frequentist -tests,…
Chernoff-type Concentration of Empirical Probabilities in Relative Entropy
F. Richard Guo, Thomas S. Richardson
We study the relative entropy of the empirical probability vector with respect to the true probability vector in multinomial sampling of categories, which, when multiplied by s…
