Proof of Theorem 1. Assume that true value of q t is q t 0 , t = 0, 1. (C3) guarantees the identifiability of q t 0 , which means that q t 0 is the unique solution to E{ψ τ (Y t −q)} = 0. According to Theorem 5.9 in van der Vaart (1998), we need to check the uniform convergence in order to prove the consistency of multiply robust estimator. For treatment group, we need to check sup |q−q 1 0 |< i∈S 1
In the simulation 1, the observed sample sizes under treated and control are almost equal, i.e., E(T ) is about 0.5. The variable selection results are given in Table S1. To investigate the effect of different sample sizes under treatment and control groups, we consider the following two cases:Using the same α = (0.6, 0.6, 0.6, 0, • • • , 0) T , we have E(T ) ≈ 0.38 and 0.64, respectively. The simulation results are shown in Figures S1-S2 and Table S2. We have the similar conclusions as in the simulation 1. No matter the observed sample sizes under the treated group are large or small, the proposed estimator θEnet GREG still performs well in terms of bias, SD and MSE. In addition, the regularized method based on the Elastic-net can select covariates more correctly, i.e., it has larger correct rates and smaller incorrect rates compared with the Lasso method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
