A Signal Extraction Approach to the Estimation of Treatment and Control Curves
处理组与对照组曲线估计的信号提取方法
Suppose that the response of a group of subjects, which we call the control group, is monitored over time. At a given time after the start of the experiment, the experimenter intervenes and applies a treatment to a subset of the group. We propose a signal extraction approach to the simultaneous estimation of the treatment and control mean response curves, and their rates of change, imposing a smooth transition constraint between the two curves at the time of intervention.
