Alec McClean @alecmcclean.bsky.social · 16/07/2025New paper 📜 We construct longitudinal effects tailored to isolated mean diff in two POs while adapting to positivity violations under both regimes. Some notes vv 170
Alec McClean @alecmcclean.bsky.social · 12/06/2025New paper! Weighting is great for addressing positivity violations, but it's unclear how to do it in longitudinal data. We propose a solution: "flip" interventions. These allow for weighing on non-baseline covariates and give effects robust to arbitrary positivity violations. Highlights below vv 130
Alec McClean @alecmcclean.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Excited to present this again at ACIC (Th 1:15pm)! We realized trimming is a special version of weighting —> we generalized the analysis to longitudinal weighted effects “Longitudinal weighted and trimmed treatment effects with flip interventions” Draft: alecmcclean.github.io/files/long-w... 030

Alec McClean @alecmcclean.bsky.social · 02/01/2025For IV folks: what's a good resource on time-varying 2SLS? Data = time-varying {covariates, instruments, outcomes} Asmp: a version of longitudinal 2SLS; ie linear SEM in 1st & 2nd stages, over time Time-varying data seems to introduce some nuance. Is there a textbook treatment of this? 000
