We study treatment effect estimation with functional treatments where the average potential outcome functional is a function of functions, in contrast to continuous treatment effect estimation where the target is a function of real numbers. By considering a flexible scalar-on-function marginal structural model, a weight-modified kernel ridge regression (WMKRR) is adopted for estimation. The weights are constructed by directly minimizing the uniform balancing error resulting from a decomposition of the WMKRR estimator, instead of being estimated under a particular treatment selection model. Despite the complex structure of the uniform balancing error derived under WMKRR, finite-dimensional convex algorithms can be applied to efficiently solve for the proposed weights thanks to a representer theorem. The optimal convergence rate is shown to be attainable by the proposed WMKRR estimator without any smoothness assumption on the true weight function. Corresponding empirical performance is demonstrated by a simulation study and a real data application.
连接局部与总体因果效应:近端工具变量方法
Instrumental variable (IV) methods address treatment endogeneity, but with non-compliance and heterogeneous treatment effects a binary instrument generally identifies the local average treatment effect (LATE) among compliers rather than the population average treatment effect (ATE). When treatment effects and compliance probabilities are heterogeneous and dependent through latent factors, the ATE need not be identified by IV variation alone. We develop a proximal…
目标函数平衡:利用策略性不平衡估计因果效应
When estimating the average treatment effect of a binary intervention with weights, investigators are often burdened with how best to leave imbalance in the distributions of observed covariates. This requires that investigators proceed cautiously, as imbalance in key (nonlinear transformations of) covariates potentially introduces bias into the ultimate estimated effect. This paper introduces Targeted Function Balancing (TFB), a flexible covariate balancing weights approach…
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…
通过 Riesz 校准最优传输将随机试验效应迁移至现实人群
Randomized trials support causal inference, but differences between trial and target populations can limit the transportability of treatment effects to real-world settings. Many existing approaches model the propensity of trial participation and can therefore be sensitive to model misspecification and weak overlap of the covariate distributions. Optimal Transport (OT) offers a different route by comparing the trial and target populations directly in covariate space. We…
基于核岭回归的条件平均处理效应迁移学习
The proliferation of data has sparked significant interest in leveraging findings from one study to estimate treatment effects in a different target population without direct outcome observations. However, the transfer learning process is frequently hindered by substantial covariate shift and limited overlap between (i) the source and target populations, as well as (ii) the treatment and control groups within the source. We propose a novel method for overlap-adaptive…
