Non-parametric assessment of the calibration of individualized treatment effects
个体化治疗效应预测校准的非参数评估
An important aspect of the performance of algorithms that predict individualized treatment effects (ITE) is moderate calibration, i.e., the average treatment effect among individuals with predicted treatment effect of z being equal to z. The assessment of moderate calibration is challenging on two fronts: counterfactual responses are unobserved, and quantifying the conditional response function for models that generate continuous predicted values requires regularization.…
