Title: Subgroup Analysis with Differential Treatment Effects and Biomarker Identification Abstract: In the process of drug development and regulatory decision making, it is important to characterize heterogeneity of subject response to treatment. The heterogenous effect is typically assessed based on variety of information on clinical, gene and protein expression markers, commonly known as biomarkers. Previous studies

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.
