Transporting treatment effects by calibrating large-scale observational outcomes
通过校准大规模观察结局迁移处理效应
A high-quality experimental dataset is often much smaller than a corresponding observational dataset. When this holds with possibly biased measurements of the outcome of interest in the latter, we propose an estimation and inference procedure for a transported treatment effect. Our point estimator can be computed as follows. First, we estimate the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) by calibrating a treatment-control contrast estimated using the observational…
