Discovering interpretable subgroups whose complier effects deviate from the average is a central goal of instrumental variable analysis under imperfect compliance, yet existing tree-based methods degrade when most covariates are irrelevant to the effect. We propose Shrinkage Bayesian Causal Forest with Instrumental Variable (SBCF-IV) for discovering and estimating subgroups with heterogeneous Complier Average Causal Effects (CACE) in sparse high-dimensional settings. SBCF-IV places a sparsity-inducing Dirichlet prior on the splitting probabilities of the Bayesian Additive Regression Trees that estimate the conditional intention-to-treat and the complier share, concentrating posterior mass on the few covariates that moderate the complier effect and thereby regularizing effect estimation. The posterior split frequencies additionally enter a downstream CART as variable-level costs that steer the partition toward relevant moderators, providing an interpretable division of the covariate space. Monte Carlo experiments show that, as the share of irrelevant covariates grows, SBCF-IV recovers the true partition more reliably than its non-sparse predecessor BCF-IV at the tree and unit level, and retains nominal coverage where BCF-IV's intervals deteriorate. We apply the method to the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment and the 401(k) eligibility data.
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…
不完全依从下利用树方法估计异质性因果效应
We study the impact of conditional complier average causal effect (CCACE) estimation methods on the performance of subgroup discovery and heterogeneous causal effect estimation under imperfect compliance. Building on the Bayesian Causal Forest with Instrumental Variable (BCF-IV) (Bargagli-Stoffi et al. (2022)) method, we introduce a two-step, model-agnostic approach that allows any suitable machine learning method to be used for the CCACE estimation in the first step.…
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…
计数型中间变量的主分层与 BART:生育对女性就业的效应
Estimating the causal effect of fertility on women's employment is challenging because fertility and labour-market decisions are jointly determined. Instrumental-variable strategies are widely used, but credible instruments are rare and their validity often depends on covariates. Two-stage least squares, the dominant implementation, does not flexibly accommodate covariate-dependent instrument validity and is poorly suited to count-valued treatment and effect heterogeneity…
贝叶斯树集成估计不依从下的异质性效应:伊利诺伊职场健康研究
Estimating varying treatment effects in randomized trials with noncompliance is inherently challenging since variation comes from two separate sources: variation in the impact itself and variation in the compliance rate. In this setting, existing flexible machine learning methods are sensitive to the weak instruments problem and can yield unstable estimates of heterogeneity when run repeatedly with different initialization or random seeds. Our main methodological…
内生性面板数据中连续处理效应的双重/去偏机器学习
We propose a double/debiased machine learning framework to estimate average derivative effects in nonparametric panel models with two-way fixed effects. It extends instrumental variable methods to panel settings, handles continuous treatments and various forms of endogeneity, and introduces a cross-fitting scheme to restore independence after eliminating time fixed effects. A penalized GMM debiasing term enables automatic debiased machine learning with endogeneity. Our…
