Suppose we are interested in the effect of a binary treatment on an outcome where that relationship is confounded by an ordinal confounder. We assume that the true confounder is not observed but, rather, we observe a nondifferentially mismeasured version of it. We show that, under certain...

In the presence of interference, the exposure of one individual may affect the outcomes of others. We provide new effect partitioning results under interferences that express the overall effect as a sum of (i) the indirect (or spillover) effect and (ii) a contrast between two direct effects.

In this paper, some new statistical methods are proposed, for making inferences about the parameter indexing a Cox proportional hazards marginal structural model for point exposure. Under the key assumption that unmeasured confounding is absent, we propose a new class of closed-form estimators...

The concepts of principal strata direct and indirect effects are compared with and contrasted to definitions of direct and indirect effects which make reference to interventions on intermediate variables. Certain simple relations hold for direct effects but not indirect effects.
