Model Information
The Model Information section in the Causal Treatment model report contains four tables: Model Details, Data Details, Adjustable Parameters, and Variable Specification. The Model Details and Data Details tables contain the same information regardless of treatment type. The Adjustable Parameters and Variable Specification tables vary depending on treatment type.
Model Details Table
Provides the following information about the models:
Outcome Variable
Shows which variable in the data table was chosen as the outcome.
Outcome Distribution
Shows which distribution is used to model the outcome.
Outcome Link Function
Shows the link function used to model the outcome.
Treatment Variable
Shows which variable in the data table was chosen as the treatment.
Treatment Distribution
Shows which distribution is used to model the treatment.
Estimation Method
Shows which estimation method is used to calculate causal effects.
Data Details Table
Provides the following information about the data:
Number of Observations Read
Shows the number of observations in the data table.
Number of Observations Used
Shows the number of observations in the data table that are included for analysis. Observations are excluded from the analysis if there are missing values for variables that are used to specify the treatment and response models.
Adjustable Parameters Table
Provides the following information, depending on the treatment type.
IPW Extreme Weight Truncation Threshold
(Appears only when the treatment is binary and a treatment model is specified.) Shows the default or specified weight truncation threshold used in the analysis. See IPW Extreme Weight Truncation Threshold.
Treatment Level Minimum
(Appears only when the treatment is continuous.) Shows the lowest treatment level displayed in Model report visualizations and tables.
Treatment Level Minimum
(Appears only when the treatment is continuous.) Shows the highest treatment level displayed in Model report visualizations and tables.
Treatment Level Increment
(Appears only when the treatment is continuous.) Shows which increments between the treatment level minimum and treatment level maximum to display in Model report visualization and tables.
Stabilized Weight Used
Shows whether stabilized weights are used for the analysis.
Alpha Level
Shows the significance level considered in the analysis.
Variable Specification Table
Provides the following information:
Treatment Model
Shows which variables are used to specify the treatment model.
Response Model
Shows which variables are used to specify the response model. If treatment is continuous, the specific formulas used to perform marginal structural modeling and generalized propensity score modeling are shown.
