Estimating causal quantile exposure response functions via matching

Luca Merlo, Francesca Dominici, Lea Petrella +2

We develop new matching estimators for estimating causal quantile exposure-response functions and quantile exposure effects with continuous treatments. We provide identification re…

Causal exposure-response curve estimation with surrogate confounders: a study of air pollution and children's health in Medicaid claims data

Jenny J. Lee, Xiao Wu, Francesca Dominici +1

In this paper, we undertake a case study to estimate a causal exposure-response function (ERF) for long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) and respiratory hospit…

Estimating a Causal Exposure Response Function with a Continuous Error-Prone Exposure: A Study of Fine Particulate Matter and All-Cause Mortality

Kevin P. Josey, Priyanka deSouza, Xiao Wu +2

Numerous studies have examined the associations between long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and adverse health outcomes. Recently, many of these studies have begu…

A Bayesian Gaussian Process for Estimating a Causal Exposure Response Curve in Environmental Epidemiology

Boyu Ren, Xiao Wu, Danielle Braun +2

Motivated by environmental policy questions, we address the challenges of estimation, change point detection, and uncertainty quantification of a causal exposure-response function…

Assessing the causal effects of a stochastic intervention in time series data: Are heat alerts effective in preventing deaths and hospitalizations?

Xiao Wu, Kate R. Weinberger, Gregory A. Wellenius +2

The methodological development of this paper is motivated by the need to address the following scientific question: does the issuance of heat alerts prevent adverse health effects?…

Matching on Generalized Propensity Scores with Continuous Exposures

Xiao Wu, Fabrizia Mealli, Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou +2

In the context of a binary treatment, matching is a well-established approach in causal inference. However, in the context of a continuous treatment or exposure, matching is still…
