 Thyroid function and related symptoms are known to be affected by daily habits such as consumption of iodine, alcohol, smoking or sleep deprivation. Using observational data, we estimate the causal effect of daily habits on hyperthyroidism symptoms. Daily habits are mostly continuous variables which call for generalized propensity score (GPS) methods. The GPS is the conditional distribution of the treatment given the covariates and is used to balance the distribution of confounders between the treated and untreated groups. Instead of maximizing the likelihood for estimating the parameters of the GPS, we minimize the covariance between treatment and confounders, following Fong et al.(2018). Furthermore in this work, we modify the estimating equation of Fong et al.(2018) so as to make balance of user level unobserved confounders as well as observed confounders. Finally, we provide a lifestyle coaching framework based on the causal inference analysis results.
