Public Webinar/Workshop on causal inference
I would love to invite you to the first workshop of my R/ StatsNotebook data analysis series.
Title: Causal inference using longitudinal observation data – Adjusting for time varying confounders using inverse probability treatment weight (IPTW) and Marginal Structural Model (MSM)
Date/ Time:
8th December 2020 1.30pm – 3.00pm AEST (2.30pm-4.00pm in Sydney and Melbourne)
About this workshop: Randomized controlled trial is the gold standard for causal inference yet it is not always feasible. Multi-wave longitudinal data is increasingly used for causal inference. Standard methods such as regression yield biased results in the presence of time-varying confounders. In this workshop, I will demonstrate using Inverse probability treatment weight (IPTW) and marginal structural model (MSM) to adjust for time-varying confounders.
Examples in this workshop will be based on research in psychology, public health and epidemiology, and the analyses will be conducted in R and StatsNotebook.
