层级与密度型因果聚类

研究问题
当处理反应的同质子群结构未知时,如何依据反事实回归函数进行聚类,并降低因果 k 均值方法对结果过程结构的要求?
方法与思路
作者把层级聚类和密度聚类引入因果聚类框架,提出可调用现成算法的插入估计量,并研究收敛速率及有限样本表现。
材料陈述的贡献
摘要称,新估计量不依赖 k 均值所需的间隔条件,在最低正则条件下,额外聚类成本主要由结果回归函数的估计误差决定。
阅读关注点
应核对聚类对象与距离、最低正则条件、结果回归误差如何传递,以及不同算法的聚类目标和子群处理效应解释。
阅读边界
所据为 arXiv 预印本,同行评审及期刊接收均未核实;不需间隔条件不等于无假设,摘要未列出完整识别和收敛条件。

原文摘要

Understanding treatment effect heterogeneity is vital for scientific and policy research. However, identifying and evaluating heterogeneous treatment effects pose significant challenges due to the typically unknown subgroup structure. Recently, a novel approach, causal k-means clustering, has emerged to assess heterogeneity of treatment effect by applying the k-means algorithm to unknown counterfactual regression functions. In this paper, we expand upon this framework by integrating hierarchical and density-based clustering algorithms. We propose plug-in estimators that are simple and readily implementable using off-the-shelf algorithms. Unlike k-means clustering, which requires the margin condition, our proposed estimators do not rely on strong structural assumptions on the outcome process. We go on to study their rate of convergence, and show that under the minimal regularity conditions, the additional cost of causal clustering is essentially the estimation error of the outcome regression functions. Our findings significantly extend the capabilities of the causal clustering framework, thereby contributing to the progression of methodologies for identifying homogeneous subgroups in treatment response, consequently facilitating more nuanced and targeted interventions. The proposed methods also open up new avenues for clustering with generic pseudo-outcomes. We explore finite sample properties via simulation, and illustrate the proposed methods in voting and employment projection datasets.
