Summary
The aim of this appendix is to give a counterfactual definition of confounding for open cohort studies that is analogous to the definition given in Chapter 2 for closed cohort studies, and to demonstrate the connection to case-control studies under the stationary population assumption.
The section and subsection headings of the appendix are as follows:
Open Cohort Studies
Counterfactual Definition of Confounding
Proportional Hazards Assumption
Case-Control Studies
