Bias and sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounders in linear structural equation models
Adam J. Sullivan, Tyler J. VanderWeele
In this paper, we consider the extent of the biases that may arise when an unmeasured confounder is omitted from a structural equation model (SEM) and we propose sensitivity analys…
Longitudinal Mediation Analysis with Latent Growth Curves
Adam J. Sullivan, Douglas D. Gunzler, Nathan Morris +1
The paper considers mediation analysis with longitudinal data under latent growth curve models within a counterfactual framework. Estimators and their standard errors are derived f…
Constructed measures and causal inference: towards a new model of measurement for psychosocial constructs
Tyler J. VanderWeele
Psychosocial constructs can only be assessed indirectly, and measures are typically formed by a combination of indicators that are thought to relate to the construct. Reflective an…
A statistical test to reject the structural interpretation of a latent factor model
Tyler J. VanderWeele, Stijn Vansteelandt
Factor analysis is often used to assess whether a single univariate latent variable is sufficient to explain most of the covariance among a set of indicators for some underlying co…
Multiple-bias sensitivity analysis using bounds
Louisa H. Smith, Maya B. Mathur, Tyler J. VanderWeele
Unmeasured confounding, selection bias, and measurement error are well-known sources of bias in epidemiologic research. Methods for assessing these biases have their own limitation…
On the dimensional indeterminacy of one-wave factor analysis under causal effects
Tyler J. VanderWeele, Charles J. K. Batty
It is shown, with two sets of indicators that separately load on two distinct factors, independent of one another conditional on the past, that if it is the case that at least one…
