内容摘要 This book discusses the detection of multiple confounders in causal inference; the influence of standardization of non-confounders on the precision of causal effects; the estimation of causal effects with missing data. It provides the basic theory and method of causal inference for beginners. The theoretical significance is that using mathematical models to describe the assumptions of causal inference and using feasible algorithms to eliminate non-confounding factors, which could improve the estimation precision of causal effects. The theoretical research results can be applied in epidemiology, biomedicine, food science, economics, information science and other fields. The purpose of this book is to introduce the latest research results of the author and her collaborators on the confounders, nonconfounders, causal effects estimation and Bayesian statistics in causal inference in the past few years. The book consists of six chapters. The first chapter mainly introduces the confounders, non-confounders, compressibility, homogeneity, and subpopulation without confounding, the detection and elimination of confounders, and the relationship between them in causal inference; Chapter two discusses whether to standardize the non-confounders in the estimation of causal effects and relative risks, and the precision changes with and without standardization for a non-confounder. Chapter three discusses the estimation of causal effects with missing data; Chapter four discusses how to establish a Bayesian hierarchical model for the real data; Chapter five discusses the estimation of traffic load in wireless cellular networks. Based on the temporal and spatial characteristics of different base stations, a shrinkage estimation method is proposed to make variable selection. Chapter six discusses the identification and authentication of radio frequency signals.
