Randomized Experiments, only in experiments. This chapter reviews the role of randomization in experiments, and so prepares for discussion of observational studies in later chapters. A theory of observational studies must have a clear view of the role of randomization, so it can have an equally clear view of the consequen阻挡 发表于 2025-3-24 01:42:54
Overt Bias in Observational Studies,t bias is one that can be seen in the data at hand for instance, prior to treatment, treated subjects are observed to have lower incomes than controls. A hidden bias is similar but cannot be seen because the required information was not observed or recorded. Overt biases are controlled using adjustmCLOT 发表于 2025-3-24 04:27:48
Sensitivity to Hidden Bias,per is a survey of the evidence available in 1959 linking smoking with lung cancer. The paper asks whether the association between smoking and lung cancer is an effect caused by smoking or whether it is instead due to a hidden bias. Can lung cancer be prevented by not smoking? Or are the higher rate睨视 发表于 2025-3-24 09:54:32
Known Effects,arction in §4.4.5 is sensitive to small biases while the studies of smoking and lung cancer in §4.3.3 or DES and vaginal cancer in §4.4.5 are sensitive only to biases that are many times larger. If sensitive to small biases, a study is especially open to the criticism that a particular unrecorded co婚姻生活 发表于 2025-3-24 14:05:30
Multiple Control Groups,periment, every control is denied the treatment for the same reason, namely, the toss of a coin. In an observational study, there may be several distinct ways that the treatment is denied to a subject. If these several control groups have outcomes that differ substantially and significantly, then thBIAS 发表于 2025-3-24 15:26:36
Coherence and Focused Hypotheses,ence of the association.” A single sentence defines coherence (Bayne-Jones et al. 1964, p. 185): “A final criterion for the appraisal of causal significance of an association is its coherence with known facts in the natural history and biology of the disease.” There follows a long discussion of theabracadabra 发表于 2025-3-24 23:02:41
