Loss-based estimation in causal inference

--Collaborator: Yue Wang

We are developing and implementing a general data adaptive loss-based estimation methodology, involving the Deletion/Substitution/Addition algorithms and cross-validation to select model complexities for the marginal structural model and the nuisance parameter model. Yue is also participating on a research project on study of lifetime exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on cardiovascular morbidity in the elderly with Prof. Tager in the School of Public Health.
