The Generalised Kernel Covariance Measure
Luca Bergen, Dino Sejdinovic, Vanessa Didelez
We consider the problem of conditional independence (CI) testing and adopt a kernel-based approach. Kernel-based CI tests embed variables in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, regr…
Bounds for causal mediation effects
Marie S. Breum, Vanessa Didelez, Erin E. Gabriel +1
Several frameworks have been proposed for studying causal mediation analysis. What these frameworks have in common is that they all make assumptions for point identifications that…
The risks of risk assessment: causal blind spots when using prediction models for treatment decisions
Nan van Geloven, Ruth H Keogh, Wouter van Amsterdam +12
Clinicians increasingly rely on prediction models to guide treatment choices. Most prediction models, however, are developed using observational data that include some patients who…
Risk-based decision making: estimands for sequential prediction under interventions
Kim Luijken, Paweł Morzywołek, Wouter van Amsterdam +14
Prediction models are used amongst others to inform medical decisions on interventions. Typically, individuals with high risks of adverse outcomes are advised to undergo an interve…
