摘要 In this paper, the concept of distribution effect is proposed without the causal diagram. Following the notation of Stone [11], we assume that the exposure treatment X is an unknown deterministic function of the confounder set Pa(X) and a random error ε. We discuss sufficient and necessary conditions for homogeneity, collapsibility and nonconfounding for distribution effects and discuss relations among them.
