Beyond ATE: Multi-Criteria Design for A/B Testing
超越平均处理效应:A/B 测试的多准则设计
In the era of large-scale AI deployment and high-stakes clinical trials, adaptive experimentation faces a ``trilemma'' of conflicting objectives: minimizing cumulative regret (welfare loss during the experiment), maximizing the estimation accuracy of heterogeneous treatment effects (CATE), and ensuring differential privacy (DP) for participants. Existing literature typically optimizes these metrics in isolation or under restrictive parametric assumptions. In this work, we…
