“Causal Inference Methods for Multiple Treatment Group Evaluations”

Hongwei Zhao, Sc.D

Professor, Dept. of Epidemiology and Biostatistics

Texas A&M Health Science Center

Tuesday, August 3, 2021

Noon – 1 pm

Virtual Seminar

This seminar contributes to achieving one or more of the CTSA core competencies in the category of Statistical Approaches.

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss causal inference methods for comparing

treatment effects when multiple treatment groups are present. Key ideas of causal

inference and the potential outcome framework will be reviewed, and several

propensity score-based methods will be introduced. Additionally, machine-learning

methods will be applied in propensity score methods to increase the flexibility of

the model. Simulation studies will be conducted to compare different causal

inference methods. Finally, these methods will be demonstrated using a real

example where multiple treatment groups are involved.

Participating TRCC Institutions include: UTMB, UTHSC-Houston, UTHSC-San Antonio, and UT Southwestern
