Abstract:
The estimation of the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) plays an essential role when the effect of an intervention or a treatment on those participants who actually received it is the focus. However, the validity of conventional estimation methods relies on the precise measurement of variables. Misclassified category outcome variables may cause non-negligible bias when estimating ATT. In this paper, under the assumption that the misclassification probability is homogeneous, we develop a bias-corrected estimation method to consistently estimate ATT when internal validation data are available for a subgroup of the study population. We further derive a doubly robust estimator by augmenting the bias-corrected estimator to provide protection against treatment model misspecification. Through simulation experiments and real data analysis, we demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the proposed estimators.
