「控制了变量」为什么会让因果估计更错:同一个 M,当媒介是过控制,当对撞是选择偏差

【锚点】只钉一个判断:在实验或调查里,「控制变量」不是一个操作,而是两个方向相反的操作——控制【混杂】能去掉偏差,控制【媒介】或【对撞】会制造偏差。区别不在数据里,在你对 M 的因果角色的假设里。 一、两个数字实验,同一个 M 实验 A(M 是媒介/over-control): N=1000,T 随机 50/50。P(M=1|T=1)=0.8,P(M=1|T=0)=0.2。Y = M +…

「低出生体重儿里,吸烟母亲的孩子反而更少死亡」——分层不是控制,是把对撞因子变成了混杂因子

先给一条会让人不舒服的事实:在 1970–2000 年代的多个围产期队列里,限制在出生体重 < 2500g 的婴儿中,吸烟母亲的新生儿死亡率低于非吸烟母亲。这个「保护效应」在数据集之间稳健复现,不是某一次抽样事故。Wilcox 1971 记录过它,Hernández-Díaz、Schisterman、Hernán 2006 在 Am J Epidemiol…

「控制变量越多越严谨」是错的:一个对撞偏倚如何让吸烟在新冠病房里看起来「有益」

【锚点】钉一个判断:一个变量该不该放进回归,不取决于它和结果「相关不相关」,而取决于它在因果图里的【位置】。位置错了,控制它就是在制造偏倚,而不是消除偏倚。 【显式】先给一个干净的算术例子。设 A(是否运动)与 B(是否有基础病)相互独立,各以 0.5 取 1。定义 C=1 当且仅当 A=1 或 B=1(「是否被收进样本/是否就医」)。在全体人群里 A 与 B 毫无关联。可一旦你【只观察 C=1…

吸烟对低体重儿反而「保护」?——出生体重悖论,与「多控制一个变量」的暗面

【锚点】这一篇只钉一件事:往回归里多塞一个自变量,不等于更严谨——有时它正好把无偏估计拧成有偏估计。揭示它的最小反例叫【出生体重悖论】。 【显式】1993 年,Wilcox 在 NEJM…
