论文摘要
假设当二元混杂因素混淆这种关系时，我们对二元处理对结果的平均因果效应感兴趣。假设混杂因素未观察到，但是观察到了它的非不同代理。我们表明，在经验上可验证的某些单调性假设下，对代理进行调整会产生对未经调整和真实度量之间的效果的度量。
Suppose that we are interested in the average causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome when this relationship is confounded by a binary confounder. Suppose that the confounder is unobserved but a nondifferential proxy of it is observed. We show that, under certain monotonicity assumption that is empirically verifiable, adjusting for the proxy produces a measure of the effect that is between the unadjusted and the true measures.
