This work provides a generalizable tool for sensitivity analysis in causal inference, but it is incremental as it builds directly on previous research.
The authors extended their prior sensitivity analysis method from risk ratio and difference contrasts to any contrast under unmeasured confounding, proving the bounds remain arbitrarily sharp and demonstrating usability with real data.
We extend our previous work on sensitivity analysis for the risk ratio and difference contrasts under unmeasured confounding to any contrast. We prove that the bounds produced are still arbitrarily sharp, i.e. practically attainable. We illustrate the usability of the bounds with real data.
