Open AccessPredicting crystal form stability under real-world conditions
The physicochemical properties of molecular crystals, such as solubility, stability, compactability, melting behaviour and bioavailability, depend on their crystal form1. In silico crystal form selection has rece...

Open AccessAssessing the short term impact of air pollution on mortality: a matching approach
The opportunity to assess short term impact of air pollution relies on the causal interpretation of the exposure-response association. However, up to now few studies explicitly faced this issue within a causal...

Exploiting Multivariate Outcomes in Bayesian Inference for Causal Effects with Noncompliance
A Bayesian approach to causal inference in the presence of noncompliance to assigned randomized treatment is considered. It exploits multivariate outcomes for improving estimation of weakly identified models, ...

Estimating and using propensity score in presence of missing background data: an application to assess the impact of childbearing on wellbeing
Propensity score methods are an increasingly popular technique for causal inference. To estimate propensity scores, we must model the distribution of the treatment indicator given a vector of covariates. Much ...

Assessing the Causal Effect of Childbearing on Household Income in Albania
The relationship between demographic developments and economic performance has been the subject of rather intense debate in the economics literature for nearly two centuries.
