Bayesian Mixture Modeling Approaches for Intermediate Variables and Causal Inference

Schwartz, Scott Lee - 2010

This thesis examines causal inference related topics involving intermediate variables, and uses Bayesian methodologies … to advance analysis capabilities in these areas. First, joint modeling of outcome variables with intermediate variables … adjustment of intermediate variables is extended to observational settings with binary treatments and binary intermediate …

Solving stochastic structural optimization problems by RSM-based stochastic approximation methods — gradient estimation in case of intermediate variables

Marti, Kurt - In: Computational Statistics 46 (1997) 3, pp. 409-434

Reliability-based structural optimization methods use mostly the following basic design criteria: I) Minimum weight (volume or costs) and II) high strength of the structure. Since several parameters of the structure, e.g. material parameters, loads, manufacturing errors, are not given, fixed...
