Selection bias

2023-12-07

Selection bias is caused by extra association caused by only part of the population is selected for analysis. Selection bias is caused by conditioning on a common effect of treatment and outcome, even if the treatment actually has no individual causal effect on the outcome.

Measurement bias and "noncausal" diagrams

2023-12-07

Confounding

2023-12-03

Confounding is a situation in which the effect of an exposure on an outcome is distorted by the presence of another variable that is associated with both the exposure and the outcome. The confounding effect is a non-causal association that leads to biased estimation of causal effect.

Graphical representation of causal effects

2023-11-30

A causal graph consists the following elements:

Interaction

2023-11-28

This chapter considers a system that consists multiple treatment variables.

Effect modification

2023-11-26

A null average causal effect does not imply a null average causal effect for a subset of the population. A variable \(V\) is an effect modifier if the average causal effect of \(A\) on \(Y\) differs across levels of \(V\).

Observational studies

2023-11-25

In an observational study, the variables are neither assigned nor controlled by the researcher. The researcher only observes the values of the variables. Compared with randomized experiments, observational studies are more limited to the researchers.

因果推断

According to Causal Inference: What If.

Customization

Click on the buttons to change the primary color.

Red Pink Purple Deep Purple Indigo Blue Light Blue Cyan Teal Green Light Green Lime Yellow Amber Orange Deep Orange Brown Grey Blue Grey White

Click on the buttons to change the accent color.

Red Pink Purple Deep Purple Indigo Blue Light Blue Cyan Teal Green Light Green Lime Yellow Amber Orange Deep Orange

However, if you try to switch from dark mode to light mode or reversed, changes to the primary color and accent color will lose.

Building documentation

Run git clone https://github.com/HuangFuSL/HuangFuSL.github.io.git to get the source code.

Bootstrap icon installation

The site uses bootstrap icons, which are added as submodules in third_party/icons. You have to manually initialize the submodule.

git submodule update --recursive --remote

LaTeX support

The site uses xelatex and dvisvgm to render tex document to SVG images embedded in the markdown files. However, as the SVG images are ignored by .gitignore, you have to manually perform the conversion.

For GitHub repository clones:

• Run git submodule update --recursive --remote to receive the template.
• Make sure you have installed and correctly configured xelatex and dvisvgm.
• Add ./template directory to $TEXINPUTS environmental variable.
• Execute ci/convert.py in the root directory of the repository.
• Run mkdocs serve to view the images.

The template is located at HuangFuSL/latex-template

GitHub workflow

You need to install the dependencies stored in requirements.txt before you can start building the site:

pip install -r requirements.txt

There are cross-links in the site which require metadata defined in the page, so the project should be built before mkdocs serve is executed. The exported metadata is saved in meta.json after a build is successfully executed. To build the site, execute the following command:

mkdocs build -d build

Execute mkdocs serve, the built site will appear at http://127.0.0.1:8000
