Title: Recent Developments for Mediation Analysis: Can We Do Better?
Author(s): Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen *
Companies: Harvard University
Keywords: mediation ; causal inference ; semiparametric ; direct effect ; counterfactual ; HIV
Abstract:

The talk concerns several recent developments in mediation analysis ranging from issues of identification to advances in estimation. We discuss bounds, sensitivity analysis, robustness to unobserved confounding, and inference free of cross-world counterfactual independence assumptions. Several examples from HIV and perinatal epidemiology are discussed.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
