Figure 5.
Plot of the estimated causal effects (points) along with 95% credible intervals (lines) for the sensitivity analysis performed in Section 4.3 with ρ = 0.1 and ℓ = −10. The expected reduced effect (ERE), expected not reduced effect (ENRE), and expected no change effect (ENCE) estimates were calculated from PS analyses performed on data without removing any outliers (original), after removing observations that were outliers in the change in PM distribution (PM), after removing observations that were outliers in the change in SFD distribution (SFD), and after removing observations that were outliers in the change in PM distribution or the change in SFD distribution (SFD and PM).
