Table 5:
ATE estimates of lung function in the CF study from the proposed BNP method. The lung function outcome measures are processed using varying time windows, i.e., measurements at 6 months plus/minus a time window and 12 months plus/minus a time window. The ATE estimate, its standard error, the 95% credible interval, and the posterior probability that the ATE is greater than zero are presented for different measurements with varying time windows.
