Causal effect estimation from observational data is a central problem in causal inference. Methods based on potential outcomes framework solve this problem by exploiting inductive biases and heuristics from causal inference. Each of these methods addresses a specific aspect of causal effect estimation, such as controlling propensity score, enforcing randomization, etc., by designing neural network (NN) architectures and regularizers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive method called Neurosymbolic Causal Effect Estimator (NESTER), a generalized method for causal effect estimation. NESTER integrates the ideas used in existing methods based on multi-head NNs for causal effect estimation into one framework. We design a Domain Specific Language (DSL) tailored for causal effect estimation based on causal inductive biases used in literature. We conduct a theoretical analysis to investigate NESTER's efficacy in estimating causal effects. Our comprehensive empirical results show that NESTER performs better than state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets.
协变量漂移下外部有效性的简单稳健性度量
This paper studies the robustness of estimated policy effects to changes in the distribution of covariates, a key determinant of the external validity of (quasi)experimental results. I propose a novel robustness metric δ ∗ which measures the smallest covariate shift needed to invalidate an empirical claim about the policy effect (e.g., AT E > 0). I estimate δ ∗ via de-biased GMM, achieving a parametric rate of convergence while accommodating machine-learning estimators of…
基于贝叶斯机器学习的决策论亚组发现
We consider the problem of identifying promising subpopulations in terms of treatment effectiveness or treatment effect heterogeneity, from a Bayesian decision theoretic perspective. We first show that a straight-forward application of Bayesian decision theory to subgroup detection leads to a counter-intuitive risk-seeking (RS) behavior. Motivated by this observation, we introduce the Bayesian Risk-Aware Inference and Detection of Subgroups (BRAIDS) utility and use it to…
审查员工具变量设计的局部稳健半参数方法
I propose a locally robust semiparametric framework for estimating causal effects using examiner IV designs when adjustment for many or continuous covariates makes saturation infeasible or produces sparse cells. The key ingredient of this approach is an orthogonal moment function that removes the first-order effect of estimation errors in the two treatment regressions defining the examiner IV. I derive the orthogonal moment function and show that it remains valid under…
因果推断中双重稳健双重/去偏机器学习估计的协变量选择
High-dimensional data create challenges for causal effect estimation because identifying the covariates needed for correct model specification becomes increasingly difficult. Double/debiased machine learning (DML) facilitates the use of machine learning (ML) for causal inference by mitigating regularization and overfitting bias, but comparatively less attention has been given to covariate selection in relation to the double robustness (DR) property possessed by some DML…
基于正交机器学习的非参数异质性因果中介分析
Causal mediation analysis decomposes the total effect of an intervention on an outcome into a direct pathway and an indirect pathway transmitted through a mediator, but standard methods typically summarize these pathways using population average effects. In many applications, however, the indirect effect may vary substantially across individual profiles. We propose an orthogonal statistical learning framework for estimating heterogeneous causal mediation effects conditional…
广义 Riesz 回归:基于 Bregman 散度拟合的去偏机器学习统一框架
Estimating the Riesz representer is central to debiased machine learning, yet the generator and representer model determine which regression directions their first-order conditions protect. We introduce generalized Riesz regression, which minimizes a Bregman divergence made observable by the Riesz identity. Squared and Kullback--Leibler-type choices recover Riesz regression, tailored loss minimization, and density-ratio objectives. For any twice-differentiable generator and…
