Abstract:
|
In this paper, we propose an adjusted generalized doubly robust (AGDR) estimator for estimating average treatment effects (ATE) for binary treatments in observational studies when treatment switching exists. We evaluate our proposed estimator, in terms of bias, mean squared error (MSE), empirical standard error (ESE), and coverage probability (CP), with two existing inverse probability weighting estimators, IPW1 and IPW2. Simulation results show that in general, AGDR estimator outperforms IPW1 and IPW2 estimators in terms of the above evaluation criteria.
