Why Propensity Scores Should Not Be Used for Matching
We show that propensity score matching (PSM), an enormously popular method of preprocessing data for causal inference, often accomplishes the opposite of its intended goal—thus ...
Instrumental Variables Estimation With Some Invalid Instruments and its Application to Mendelian Randomization
Instrumental variables have been widely used for estimating the causal effect between exposure and outcome. Conventional estimation methods require complete knowledge about all ...
Principles of confounder selection
Abstract Selecting an appropriate set of confounders for which to control is critical for reliable causal inference. Recent theoretical and methodological developments have help...
Multivariable Mendelian Randomization: The Use of Pleiotropic Genetic Variants to Estimate Causal Effects
