Zusammenfassung	G-computation is a causal inference method for estimating the effect of an intervention or treatment on an outcome from observational data. Developed by James M. Robins in 1986, it provides a parametric approach to standardization that can handle time-varying exposures and confounders. The method estimates what the population outcome would be under different intervention scenarios by utilizing fitted outcome models.	Doubly Robust Estimation, also called Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting (AIPW), is a semiparametric method for estimating causal treatment effects that combines an outcome regression model with a propensity (treatment) model. Developed in the work of Robins & Rotnitzky (1995) and Bang & Robins (2005), it stays consistent as long as at least one of the two models is correctly specified.	Inverse Probability Weighting is a causal-inference method that assigns each observation a weight equal to the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received. Introduced by Robins, Hernán and Brumback (2000) for marginal structural models, it builds a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders, balancing selection bias.
