ROWENA-FRONDA BASTERO is an academic who published a paper in 2017 entitled A Swapping Method and Exploratory Analysis for Average Treatment Effect Estimation Based on Partial. ROWENA-FRONDA BASTERO published this work as part of a team: Bastero, Rowena Fronda. Here is a description of this work: To provide significant outcomes, it is imperative that health care professionals, medical practitioners and policy-makers acquire evidence of the effectiveness of different treatments or interventions. This is most commonly done by looking into treatment and control groups and determining if the treatment has a causal effect on the outcome. Ideally, treatment assignment is performed through randomization so that the groups formed are comparable with respect to their features; thus, randomized controlled trials are the gold standard. However, some factors, such as cost, time, and ethical issues behind the treatment, may make it difficult to assign treatments at random. This leads to the use of observational studies instead in assessing the treatment or intervention effect. The lack of randomization can be an issue.
