We consider estimation of the causal effect of a binary treatment on an outcome, conditionally on covariates, from observational studies or natural experiments in which there is a binary instrument for treatment. We describe ...

In this article, we present a new command, qcte, that implements several methods for estimation and inference for quantile treatment-effects models with a continuous treatment. We propose a semiparametric two-step estimator, ...

Abstract Background Better treatments for schizophrenia are urgently needed. The therapeutic use of the nitric oxide (NO)-donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in patients with ...

1. in order to examine the effects of corticosterone in the anxiety response, the effect of acute, subchronic and chronic corticosterone (CORT) administration were studied using two animal models to study using two animal ...

We consider inference for longitudinal data based on mixed-effects models with a non-parametric Bayesian prior on the treatment effect. The proposed non-parametric Bayesian prior is a random partition model with a regression ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of short wave ultraviolet light (UV-C, 0–10.6 kJ/m2) assisted by mild heat treatment (UV-C/H; 40, 45 or 50 °C) on the inactivation of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...

Background. This study was pathway of (-)-epicatechin (EC) in the prevention and treatment of intestine inflammation in acute and chronic rat models. Methods. Intestine inflammation was induced in rats using TNBS. The ...
