Apportioning Causal Responsibility of Two Risk Factors for an Adverse Outcome via Counterfactual Attribution

Shanshan Luo, Yafang Deng, Qingyuan Zhao +1

Unlike traditional causal inference, which prospectively evaluates the effects of causes, apportioning causal responsibility requires a retrospective assessment to deduce the cause…

An average-case sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding

Yao Zhang, Qingyuan Zhao

Sensitivity analysis for the unconfoundedness assumption is crucial in observational studies. For this purpose, the marginal sensitivity model gained popularity recently due to goo…

Heritability: A Counterfactual Perspective

Haochen Lei, Jieru Shi, Hongyuan Cao +1

Heritability is a central concept in the long-standing debate about nature versus nurture in biological and social sciences. However, existing notions of heritability are based on…

Simultaneous false discovery rate control in location families

Zijun Gao, Wenjie Hu, Qingyuan Zhao

When testing a number of statistical hypotheses using data from location families, it is often useful to control the false discovery rate (FDR) not just for hypotheses of the null…

Optimization-based Sensitivity Analysis for Unmeasured Confounding using Partial Correlations

Tobias Freidling, Qingyuan Zhao

Causal inference necessarily relies upon untestable assumptions; hence, it is crucial to assess the robustness of obtained results to violations of identification assumptions. Howe…

Multiple conditional randomization tests for lagged and spillover treatment effects

Yao Zhang, Qingyuan Zhao

We consider the problem of constructing multiple independent conditional randomization tests using a single dataset. Because the tests are independent, the randomization p-values c…
