Abstract
Chen and Heitjan (Sensitivity of estimands in clinical trials with imperfect compliance. Int J Biostat. 2023) used linear extrapolation to estimate the population average causal effect (PACE) from the complier average causal effect (CACE) in multiple randomized trials with all-or-none compliance. For extrapolating from CACE to PACE in this setting and in the paired availability design involving different availabilities of treatment among before-and-after studies, we recommend the sensitivity analysis in Baker and Lindeman (J Causal Inference, 2013) because it is not restricted to a linear model, as it involves various random effect and trend models.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
