Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data

Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data

Bayesian Nonparametrics for Causal Inference and Missing Data provides an overview of flexible Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods for modeling joint or conditional distributions and functional relationships and their interplay with causal inference and missing data. This book emphasizes the importance of making untestable assumptions to identify estimands of interest such as missing at random assumption for missing data and unconfoundedness for causal inference in observational studies. Unlike parametric methods the BNP approach can account for possible violations of assumptions and minimize concerns about model misspecification. The overall strategy is to first specify BNP models for observed data and then to specify additional uncheckable assumptions to identify estimands of interest. The book is divided into three parts. Part I develops the key concepts in causal inference and missing data and reviews relevant concepts in Bayesian inference. Part II introduces the fundamental BNP tools required to address causal inference and missing data problems. Part III shows how the BNP approach can be applied in a variety of case studies. The datasets in the case studies come from electronic health records data survey data cohort studies and randomized clinical trials. Features • Thorough discussion of both BNP and its interplay with causal inference and missing data • How to use BNP and g-computation for causal inference and non-ignorable missingness • How to derive and calibrate sensitivity parameters to assess sensitivity to deviations from uncheckable causal and/or missingness assumptions • Detailed case studies illustrating the application of BNP methods to causal inference and missing data • R code and/or packages to implement BNP in causal inference and missing data problems The book is primarily aimed at researchers and graduate students from statistics and biostatistics. It will also serve as a useful practical reference for mathematically sophisticated epidemiologists and medical researchers.

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age

Constructing Moral Concepts of God in a Global Age focuses on what people say and think about God rather than on arguments about God's existence. It advances a theological method or step-by-step approach to explore and reframe personal convictions about God and the worldviews shaped by those convictions. Since a moral God is more likely to foster a moral life this method integrates an ethical check to ensure that understandings of God and their associated worldviews are validly moral. The proposed method builds on the work of twentieth-century theologian Gordon Kaufman during the Kantian phase of his work. It anticipates a person-like God who hears prayers loves without end and comforts in times of hardship. To accommodate today’s pluralistic and globalized world the ethical check integrated in the method is a widely collaborative and vetted global ethic the Parliament of the World’s Religions Declaration Towards a Global Ethic. This volume of constructive philosophical theology is written for seminary students educators clergy study groups and anyone interested in delving more deeply and systematically into understandings of God whether their own or those of others.

Design and Analysis of Pragmatic Trials

Design and Analysis of Pragmatic Trials

This book begins with an introduction of pragmatic cluster randomized trials (PCTs) and reviews various pragmatic issues that need to be addressed by statisticians at the design stage. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each type of PCT and provides sample size formulas sensitivity analyses and examples for sample size calculation. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) method will be employed to derive sample size formulas for various types of outcomes from the exponential family including continuous binary and count variables. Experimental designs that have been frequently employed in PCTs will be discussed including cluster randomized designs matched-pair cluster randomized design stratified cluster randomized design stepped-wedge cluster randomized design longitudinal cluster randomized design and crossover cluster randomized design. It demonstrates that the GEE approach is flexible to accommodate pragmatic issues such as hierarchical correlation structures different missing data patterns randomly varying cluster sizes etc. It has been reported that the GEE approach leads to under-estimated variance with limited numbers of clusters. The remedy for this limitation is investigated for the design of PCTs. This book can assist practitioners in the design of PCTs by providing a description of the advantages and disadvantages of various PCTs and sample size formulas that address various pragmatic issues facilitating the proper implementation of PCTs to improve health care. It can also serve as a textbook for biostatistics students at the graduate level to enhance their knowledge or skill in clinical trial design. Key Features: Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of PCTs and provide sample size formulas sensitivity analyses and examples. Address an unmet need for guidance books on sample size calculations for PCTs; A wide variety of experimental designs adopted by PCTs are covered; The sample size solutions can be readily implemented due to the accommodation of common pragmatic issues encountered in real-world practice; Useful to both academic and industrial biostatisticians involved in clinical trial design; Can be used as a textbook for graduate students majoring in statistics and biostatistics. | Design and Analysis of Pragmatic Trials

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique for understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials. It has become a powerful tool for chemists polymer and material scientists and engineers. Despite this it often remains underutilized in the modern laboratory. Because of its high sensitivity to the presence of the glass transition many users limit it to detecting glass transitions that can’t be seen by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This book presents a practical and straightforward approach to understanding how DMA works and what it measures. Starting with the concepts of stress and strain the text takes the reader through stress–strain creep and thermomechanical analysis. DMA is discussed as both the instrument and fixtures as well as the techniques for measuring both thermoplastic and thermosetting behavior. This edition offers expanded chapters on these areas as well as frequency scanning and other application areas. To help the reader grasp the material study questions have also been added. Endnotes have been expanded and updated.

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

This book examines many facets of transcultural poetics in the English translation of Chinese literature from 12 different expert contributors. Translating Chinese literature into English is a special challenge. There is a pressing need to overcome a slew of obstacles to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese literary works by readers in the English-speaking world. Hitherto only intermittent attempts have been made to theorize and explore the exact role of the translator as a cultural and aesthetic mediator informed by cross-cultural knowledge awareness and sensitivity. Given the complexity of literary translation sophisticated poetics of translation in terms of literary value and aesthetic taste needs to be developed and elaborated more fully from a cross-cultural perspective. It is therefore necessary to examine attempts to reconcile the desire for authentic transmission of Chinese culture with the need for cultural mediation and appropriation in terms of the production and reception of texts subject to the multiplicity of constraints in order to shed new light on the longstanding conundrum of Chinese-English literary translation by addressing Chinese literature in the multiple contexts of nationalism cross-cultural hybridity literary untranslatability the reception of translation and also world literature. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of translation studies Chinese literature and East Asian studies. | Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation
