Abstract

Principal stratification is an increasingly adopted framework for drawing counterfactual causal inferences in complex situations. After outlining the framework, with special emphasis on the case of truncation by death, I describe an application of the methodology where the analysis is based on a parametric model with latent classes. Then, I discuss the special features of latent class models derived within the principal strata framework. I argue that the concept of principal stratification gives latent class models a solid theoretical basis and helps to solve some specification and fitting issues.
