步骤概括:通过对全基因组关联分析研究(Genome Wide Association Study, GWAS)进行分析,找到与生物学因素相关联的基因变异单核苷酸多态性(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, SNP) ,即“工具变量(Instrumental variable, IV)”,然后利用这些 IV 推断生物学因素对疾病的影响。因为基因是随机分配的,不受混杂因素的影响,因此利...
Instrumental variables (IV) regression is a method for making causal inferences about the effect of a treatment based on an observational study in which there are unmeasured confounding variables. The method requires one or more valid IVs; a valid IV is a variable that is independent of un...

the dummy variable Z for winning the voucher lottery is a valid IV for D because (1) the randomization of the lottery renders Z independent of\epsilonin the population-level causal regression equationY =\alpha+\delta D+\epsilon(2) Z has a causal effect on Y only through Z.(即满足了IV...
One of the basic assumptions of OLS regression is thus violated, and a new method – instrumental variable (IV) regression – is called for to produce a consistent, unbiased estimate of LOS. A non-technical case study on IV regression shows that the LOS–TTE relationship estimated by IV ...
Instrumental variable (IV) methods for regression are well established. More recently, methods have been developed for statistical inference when the instruments are weakly correlated with the endogenous regressor, so that estimators are biased and no longer asymptotically normally distributed. This paper ...

(e.g. no defiers, some compliers): – In models with a single instrumental variable, Andrews and Armstrong (2017) show that there is a unique unbiased estimator based on the reduced form and first-stage regression estimates – This estimator is substantially less dispersed than the usual 2SLS...
In practice, the IV estimator is implemented via a 2SLS procedure, where in the first stage the originally designed independent variable x1 is regressed on all the exogenous variables and z1. That is, in the first-stage regression, we have (16.2.1)x1i=γ+δT+β1x2i+β2z1i+o´i ...
