Abstract:
|
To measure causal effect of realistic intervention, stochastic intervention can be considered as a significant mechanism. Estimating the causal effect of an intervention on a population typically involves defining parameters in a non-parametric structural equation model (SEM). We use Milstein scheme as model of causality to check whether postintervention stochastic differential equation (SDE) is the limit of postintervention SEM. This would also give a scope to compare Milstein method with the usual Euler method in terms of computational efficiency and convergence on SEM. We construct postintervention SDE using stable processes and tempered stable processes. The work finds its application in childhood dental care.
