Learning Heterogeneity in Causal Inference Using Sufficient Dimension Reduction
Journal of Causal Inference, 2019 Often the research interest in causal inference is on the regression causal effect, which is the mean difference in the potential outcomes conditional on the covariates. In this paper, we use sufficient dimension reduction to estimate a lower dimensional
