Abstract:

Principal Stratification (Frangakis and Rubin 2002) provides a way of thinking about causal inference using potential outcomes (e.g., Neyman 1923, Rubin 1974) in situations that are more complex than the standard ones considered in classical experimental design textbooks. It also reveals fundamental errors that even the giants of statistics made consistently throughout their lives (e.g., Fisher, as described in Rubin 2004). This presentation gives several examples of how this perspective offers insights into several important applications and shows how the perspective can be implemented to generate useful inferences in these examples by treating the principal strata as partially missing data.
