Joint sufficient dimension reduction and estimation of conditional and average treatment effects [PDF]
The estimation of treatment effects based on observational data usually involves multiple confounders, and dimension reduction is often desirable and sometimes inevitable. We first clarify the definition of a central subspace that is relevant for the efficient estimation of average treatment effects.

Generalization bounds and algorithms for estimating conditional average treatment effect of dosage
We investigate the task of estimating the conditional average causal effect of treatment-dosage pairs from a combination of observational data and assumptions on the causal relationships in the underlying system. This has been a longstanding challenge for fields of study such as epidemiology or economics that require a treatment-dosage pair to make ...

Benign-Overfitting in Conditional Average Treatment Effect Prediction with Linear Regression
We study the benign overfitting theory in the prediction of the conditional average treatment effect (CATE), with linear regression models. As the development of machine learning for causal inference, a wide range of large-scale models for causality are gaining attention.

Debiased machine learning of conditional average treatment effects and other causal functions [PDF]
Summary This paper provides estimation and inference methods for the best linear predictor (approximation) of a structural function, such as conditional average structural and treatment effects, and structural derivatives, based on modern machine learning tools.
