Optimal Restricted Estimation For More Efficient Longitudinal Causal Inference, Edward Kennedy, Marshall Joffe, Dylan Small

Edward H. Kennedy

Efficient semiparametric estimation of longitudinal causal effects is often analytically or computationally intractable. We propose a novel restricted estimation approach for increasing efficiency, which can be used with other techniques, is straightforward to implement, and requires no additional modeling assumptions.
