Replicate "Causal Inference"

Open pzivich opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Issue to track progress on implementation of Hernan and Robins "Causal Inference" chapters

  • [x] Chapter 12: Inverse probability weights

  • [x] Chapter 13: Parametric g-formula

  • [x] Chapter 14: G-estimation of structural nested models

  • [x] ~Chapter 16: G-estimation for IV analysis~

  • [ ] Chapter 17: Causal survival analysis

  • [ ] Part III: Time-varying treatments

~G-estimation is not currently implemented. I will need to implement these before chapter 14 can be done.~

Currently there are no plans to replicate Chapter 15 (propensity scores and regression) or Chapter 16 (instrumental variables) since the first method does not require zEpid and I am unfamiliar with the second. Maybe instrumental variables will be added in the future?

For Chapter 16, I am considering demonstrating the usage of g-estimation instead of two-stage least-squares. Specifically, using the same data as done in Chapter 16 but following Technical Point 16.3
