The impact of a cash transfer programme on tuberculosis treatment success rate: a quasi-experimental study in Brazil

open access: yesBMJ Global Health, 2019
Background Evidence suggests that social protection policies such as Brazil’s Bolsa Família Programme (BFP), a governmental conditional cash transfer, may play a role in tuberculosis (TB) elimination. However, study limitations hamper conclusions.

A Meta-Learning Approach for Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Under Hölder Continuity

open access: yesMathematics
Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects plays a vital role in many statistical applications, such as precision medicine and precision marketing. In this paper, we propose a novel meta-learner, termed RXlearner for estimating the conditional average ...

Simultaneous inference for Best Linear Predictor of the Conditional Average Treatment Effect and other structural functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper provides estimation and inference methods for a structural function, such as Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE), based on modern machine learning (ML) tools. We assume that such function can be represented as a conditional expectation

Estimating conditional average treatment effects with heteroscedasticity by model averaging and matching

open access: yesEconomics Letters
We propose a model averaging approach, combined with a partition and matching method to estimate the conditional average treatment effects under heteroskedastic error settings. The proposed approach has asymptotic optimality and consistency of weights and estimator. Numerical studies show that our method has good finite-sample performances.
