Counterfactual inference in sequential experiments
序贯实验中的反事实推断
We consider after-study statistical inference for sequentially designed experiments wherein multiple units are assigned treatments for multiple time points using treatment policies that adapt over time. Our goal is to provide inference guarantees for the counterfactual mean at the smallest possible scale—mean outcome under different treatments for each unit and each time—with minimal assumptions on the adaptive treatment policy. Without any structural assumptions on the…
