Fit a Bayesian outcome model using covariates and previously estimated propensity scores.
This function implements the second stage of a modular two-step causal inference procedure.
It uses propensity scores extracted from a prior treatment model (via `self.fit()`) to adjust
for confounding when estimating treatment effects on an outcome variable `y`.
Parameters
----------
X_outcome : array-like, shape (n_samples, n_covariates)
Covariate matrix for the outcome model.
y : array-like, shape (n_samples,)
Observed outcome variable.
coords : dict
Coordinate dictionary for named dimensions in the PyMC model. Should include
a key "outcome_coeffs" for `X_outcome`.
priors : dict, optional
Dictionary specifying priors for outcome model parameters:
- "b_outcome": list [mean, std] for regression coefficients.
- "sigma": standard deviation of the outcome noise (default 1).
noncentred : bool, default True
If True, use a non-centred parameterization for the outcome coefficients.
normal_outcome : bool, default True
If True, assume a Normal likelihood for the outcome.
If False, use a Student-t likelihood with unknown degrees of freedom.
spline_component : bool, default False
If True, include a spline basis expansion on the propensity score to allow
flexible (nonlinear) adjustment. Uses B-splines with 30 internal knots.
winsorize_boundary : float, default 0.0
If we wish to winsorize the propensity score this can be set to clip the high
and low values of the propensity at 0 + winsorize_boundary and 1-winsorize_boundary
Returns
-------
idata_outcome : arviz.InferenceData
The posterior and prior predictive samples from the outcome model.
model_outcome : pm.Model
The PyMC model object.
Raises
------
AttributeError
If the `self.idata` attribute is not available, which indicates that
`fit()` (i.e., the treatment model) has not been called yet.
Notes
-----
- This model uses a sampled version of the propensity score (`p`) from the
posterior of the treatment model, randomly selecting one posterior draw
per call. This term is estimated initially in the InversePropensity
class initialisation.
- The term `beta_ps[0] * p` captures both
main effects of the propensity score.
- Including spline adjustment enables modeling nonlinear relationships
between the propensity score and the outcome.
