论文摘要
Wang and Blei(2019)研究了多种因果推断,并提出了Deconfunder算法。本文讨论了理论要求,并提出了实证研究。已经提出了几种改进,围绕着脱浓的理论。其中,Imai和Jiang阐明了“没有未观察到的单原因混杂因素”的假设。使用他们的假设,本文阐明了理论。此外,Ogburn等人。 (2020)提出了对该理论的反例。但是提议的反例无法满足所需的假设。
Wang and Blei (2019) studies multiple causal inference and proposes the deconfounder algorithm. The paper discusses theoretical requirements and presents empirical studies. Several refinements have been suggested around the theory of the deconfounder. Among these, Imai and Jiang clarified the assumption of "no unobserved single-cause confounders." Using their assumption, this paper clarifies the theory. Furthermore, Ogburn et al. (2020) proposes counterexamples to the theory. But the proposed counterexamples do not satisfy the required assumptions.
