Policy Evaluation for Temporal and/or Spatial Dependent Experiments
时间或空间依赖实验中的策略评估
The aim of this paper is to establish a causal link between the policies implemented by technology companies and the outcomes they yield within intricate temporal and/or spatial dependent experiments. We propose a novel temporal/spatio-temporal Varying Coefficient Decision Process (VCDP) model, capable of effectively capturing the evolving treatment effects in situations characterized by temporal and/or spatial dependence. Our methodology encompasses the decomposition of the…
