On the Comparative Analysis of Average Treatment Effects Estimation via Data Combination
通过数据组合估计平均处理效应的比较分析
There is growing interest in exploring causal effects in target populations via data combination. However, most approaches are tailored to specific settings and lack comprehensive comparative analyses. In this article, we focus on a typical scenario involving a source dataset and a target dataset. We first design six settings under covariate shift and conduct a comparative analysis by deriving the semiparametric efficiency bounds for the ATE in the target population. We then…
