Two postestimation commands for assessing confounding effects in epidemiological studies
Wang, ZQ - 2007
Confounding is a major issue in observational epidemiological studies. This paper describes two postestimation commands … for assessing confounding effects. One command (confall) displays and plots all possible effect estimates against one of p …

A command to calculate age-standardized rates with efficient interval estimation
Consonni, Dario; Coviello, Enzo; Buzzoni, Carlotta; … - In: Stata Journal 12 (2012) 4, pp. 688-701
In this article, we illustrate the command distrate, which calcu- lates age-standardized rates with efficient interval estimation by using formulas developed by Tiwari, Clegg, and Zou (2006, Statistical Methods in Medical Re- search 15: 547–569) as a modification of the method proposed by Fay...

History-Adjusted Marginal Structural Models and Statically-Optimal Dynamic Treatment Regimes
Laan, Mark van der; Petersen, Maya - Berkeley Electronic Press - 2004
Marginal structural models (MSM) provide a powerful tool for estimating the causal effect of a treatment. These models, introduced by Robins (e.g. Robins (2000a), Robins (2000b), van der Laan and Robins (2002)), model the marginal distributions of treatment-specific counterfactual outcomes,...

Missing Confounding Data in Marginal Structural Models: A Comparison of Inverse Probability Weighting and Multiple Imputation
Moodie, Erica; Delaney, Joseph; Lefebvre, Geneviève; … - In: International Journal of Biostatistics 4 (2008) 1, pp. 1106-1106
Standard statistical analyses of observational data often exclude valuable information from individuals with incomplete measurements. This may lead to biased estimates of the treatment effect and loss of precision. The issue of missing data for inverse probability of treatment weighted...

Equity Criteria as Instrument to Ensure Sustainability of Pareto or Kaldor-Hicks Efficiency: A Correlation Hidden by Sources of Confounding as Key for Sorting Out the Global Econom...
Benazzo, Piero - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
The hypothesis is that Pareto and Kaldor-Hicks Efficiency have an aspect of sustainability in relation to inequality. The analysis finds efficient situations reached increasing inequality as diminishing in the long term effective demand in a larger measure than counterbalancing increases thanks...
