Interesting-looking posters on mediation in causal inference

The posters for the second mid-Atlantic causal modeling conference have been listed (thanks to Dylan Small, who’s organizing the conference). The titles all look pretty interesting, especially Egleston’s and Small’s on intermediate outcomes. Here they are:

Brian Egleston, Fox Chase Cancer Center, “Investigating mediation when counterfactuals are not metaphysical: Does sunlight exposure mediate the effect of eyeglasses on cataracts?”

Michael Elliott, University of Michigan, “A Potential Outcomes Approach to Developmental Toxicity Analyses”

Kosuke Imai, Princeton University, “Statistical Analysis of Randomized Experiments with Nonignorable Missing Outcomes”

David Lewin, University of Pennsylvania, “Using Instrumental Variables to Improve Safety Estimates from Clinical Trials”

Dylan Small, University of Pennsylvania, “Mediation Analysis Using Random Assignment Interacted with Baseline Covariates as Instrumental Variables”

And here’s my earlier entry with the list of talks and other info.
