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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
