In Chapter 1, we describe bias that can occur when ABM inputs or estimates are extrapolated to new populations, and demonstrate the impact of this bias by comparison with the parametric g-formula. We describe the assumptions that are required for extrapolation of an ABM and show that violations of these assumptions produce biased estimates of the risk and causal effect
