My article -- "The Revolution in Text Mining is Here" -- is now live at the AHR.

2/2 Resulting g-estimation strategy leverages the data-adaptive flexibility of TVEMs & the robustness of g-estimation against model misspecifications. It can resolve treatment-dependent confounding when estimating curvilinear & heterogenous causal effects. https://t.co/NHzzU1GndN

[The Department of 𝔻ata & 𝔻ecision Sciences @EmoryDataSci]

1/2 @QuanTMEmory's Dr. Wen Wei Loh offers a new method for estimating curvilinear, time-varying treatment effects by combining g-estimation of structural nested mean models (SNMMs) from causal inference w/ time-varying effect models (TVEMs) from addiction & prevention sciences...

[The Department of 𝔻ata & 𝔻ecision Sciences @EmoryDataSci]

Does adjusting for previous measurements always bolster causal conclusions?
@CollabraOA, @QuanTMEmory's Dr. Wen Wei Loh, and coauthor @dongning_ren use causal diagrams to explain how the common practice can either harm or help causal inference. https://t.co/qSvj3cKn1e
