The potential outcomes framework is used to conceptualize covariate-adjusted and marginal exchangeability.
2
The critical assumption is that of exchangeability across the included studies.
3
We introduce the swpermute command that permutes clusters to sequences to maintain exchangeability.
4
The CMS shows a definite positive correlation with the unassisted self-evaluation of SF-36, but exchangeability could not be demonstrated.
5
Our method has the ability to incorporate supplemental information in a wider variety of situations than when only marginal exchangeability is considered.
