Robust estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects in randomized trials leveraging external data

Rickard Karlsson, Piersilvio De Bartolomeis, Issa J. Dahabreh +1

Randomized trials are typically designed to detect average treatment effects but often lack the statistical power to uncover individual-level treatment effect heterogeneity, limiti…

Uncovering Bias Mechanisms in Observational Studies

Ilker Demirel, Zeshan Hussain, Piersilvio De Bartolomeis +1

Observational studies are a key resource for causal inference but are often affected by systematic biases. Prior work has focused mainly on detecting these biases, via sensitivity…

Doubly robust identification of treatment effects from multiple environments

Piersilvio De Bartolomeis, Julia Kostin, Javier Abad +2

Practical and ethical constraints often require the use of observational data for causal inference, particularly in medicine and social sciences. Yet, observational datasets are pr…

Prediction-Powered Causal Inferences

Riccardo Cadei, Ilker Demirel, Piersilvio De Bartolomeis +4

In many scientific experiments, the data annotating cost constraints the pace for testing novel hypotheses. Yet, modern machine learning pipelines offer a promising solution, provi…

Efficient Randomized Experiments Using Foundation Models

Piersilvio De Bartolomeis, Javier Abad, Guanbo Wang +4

Randomized experiments are the preferred approach for evaluating the effects of interventions, but they are costly and often yield estimates with substantial uncertainty. On the ot…

Robust integration of external control data in randomized trials

Rickard Karlsson, Guanbo Wang, Piersilvio De Bartolomeis +2

One approach for increasing the efficiency of randomized trials is the use of "external controls" -- individuals who received the control treatment studied in the trial during rout…

Detecting critical treatment effect bias in small subgroups

Piersilvio De Bartolomeis, Javier Abad, Konstantin Donhauser +1

Randomized trials are considered the gold standard for making informed decisions in medicine, yet they often lack generalizability to the patient populations in clinical practice.…

Hidden yet quantifiable: A lower bound for confounding strength using randomized trials

Piersilvio De Bartolomeis, Javier Abad, Konstantin Donhauser +1

In the era of fast-paced precision medicine, observational studies play a major role in properly evaluating new treatments in clinical practice. Yet, unobserved confounding can sig…

Challenging Common Assumptions in Convex Reinforcement Learning

Mirco Mutti, Riccardo De Santi, Piersilvio De Bartolomeis +1

The classic Reinforcement Learning (RL) formulation concerns the maximization of a scalar reward function. More recently, convex RL has been introduced to extend the RL formulation…
