Nonparametric Bounds for the Risk Function.
Nonparametric Bounds for the Risk Function
Challenge
Nonparametric bounds for risk functions—which characterize the range of causal effects consistent with observed data under partial identification—had not been derived in a form accessible for applied epidemiologic use.
Solution
Target RWE researchers and UNC collaborators derived and published nonparametric bounds for the risk function, providing an accessible framework for epidemiologists to quantify the range of causal risk differences consistent with observed data.
