Applied Statistics Seminar on Tuesday (February 7, 2023) at 12 PM

Abstract: The exchangeability of units between treatment groups is a key and typically untestable assumption for evaluating causal intervention effects in observational studies. Standard methods assuming exchangeability can yield biased treatment effect estimates if the assumption does not hold. Existing methods evaluate the sensitivity of treatment effect estimates to non-exchangeability due to unmeasured confounders only.

Applied Statistics Seminar on “Pairwise Accelerated Failure Time Models for Infectious Disease Transmission Within and Between Households”

isrt seminar room

Abstract: Pairwise survival analysis handles dependent happenings in infectious disease transmission data by analyzing failure times in ordered pairs of individuals. The contact interval in the pair ij is the time from the onset of infectiousness in i to infectious contact from i to j, where an infectious contact is sufficient to infect j if he
