Project description

Estimation of the effect of time-varying exposure on a given outcome is typically plagued by the presence of time-varying confounders. Because standard regression adjustment for such confounders is fallible, the goal of the proposed research is to overcome this through the development of structural nested models for outcomes that are dichotomous or survival times.
