Causal Inference for Circular Data
圆周数据的因果推断
In causal inference, a fundamental task is to estimate the effect resulting from a specific treatment, which is often handled with inverse probability weighting. Despite an abundance of attention to the advancement of this task, most articles have focused on linear data rather than circular data, which are measured in angles. In this article, we extend the causal inference framework to accommodate circular data. Specifically, two new treatment effects, average direction…
