Sensitivity Analysis for Causal Inference

No observational study can prove that unobserved confounding is absent. Sensitivity analysis asks: how large would unobserved confounding need to be to overturn the estimated causal effect? This shifts the question from "is there confounding?" (unanswerable) to "how much confounding would be needed?" (quantifiable and interpretable).
