Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Epidemiologic evidence is based on multiple data sources including clinical trials, cohort studies, surveys, registries, and expert opinions. Merging information from different sources opens up new possibilities for the estimation of causal effects. We show how causal effects can be identified and estimated by combining experiments and observations in real and realistic scenarios. As a new tool, we present do-search, a recently developed…

Causal Effect Identification from Multiple Incomplete Data Sources: A General Search-based Approach

A search algorithm directly over the rules of do-calculus is presented, capable of taking more advanced data-generating mechanisms into account along with an arbitrary type of both observational and experimental source distributions and of handling missing data problems as well.

Propensity score methods for merging observational and experimental datasets

It is found that a version of the spiked-in estimator yields lower-MSE estimates of the causal impact of HT on coronary heart disease than would be achieved using either a small RCT or the observational component on its own.

Identifying Causal Effects with the R Package causaleffect

The R package causaleffect is presented, which provides an implementation of Shpitser and Pearl's (2006b) algorithm for identifying joint interventional distributions in causal models, which contain unobserved variables and induce directed acyclic graphs.

General Identifiability with Arbitrary Surrogate Experiments

A general strategy to prove non-gID based on hedgelets and thickets is introduced, which leads to a necessary and sufficient graphical condition for the corresponding decision problem and it is shown that do-calculus is complete for the task of g-identifiability.

Study Design in Causal Models

The causal assumptions, the study design and the data are the elements required for scientific inference in empirical research. The research is adequately communicated only if all of these elements…

Causal Inference by Surrogate Experiments: z-Identifiability

The problem of estimating the effect of intervening on a set of variables X from experiments on a different set, Z, that is more accessible to manipulation is addressed and a graphical necessary and sufficient condition for z-identifiability for arbitrary sets X,Z, and Y is provided.

Causal inference and the data-fusion problem

This work addresses the problem of data fusion—piecing together multiple datasets collected under heterogeneous conditions to obtain valid answers to queries of interest and presents a general, nonparametric framework for handling these biases.

Identification of Causal Effects Using Instrumental Variables

It is shown that the instrumental variables (IV) estimand can be embedded within the Rubin Causal Model (RCM) and that under some simple and easily interpretable assumptions, the IV estimand is the average causal effect for a subgroup of units, the compliers.

A General Algorithm for Deciding Transportability of Experimental Results

This article establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for deciding when causal effects in the target population are estimable from both the statistical information available and the causal information transferred from the experiments, and provides a complete algorithm for computing the transport formula.

Identification of Joint Interventional Distributions in Recursive Semi-Markovian Causal Models

A necessary and sufficient graphical condition is provided for the cases when the causal effect of an arbitrary set of variables on another arbitrary set can be determined uniquely from the available information, as well as an algorithm which computes the effect whenever this condition holds.
