Minimax designs for causal effects in temporal experiments with treatment habituation
存在处理习惯化的时序实验中因果效应的极小极大设计
Summary In many modern settings, such as an online marketplace, randomized experiments need to be executed over multiple time periods. In such temporal experiments, it has been observed that the effects of an intervention on an experimental unit may be large when the unit is first exposed to it, but then it attenuates after repeated exposures. This is typically due to units’ habituation to the intervention, or some other form of learning, such as when users gradually start…
