Pulling back the curtain: the road from statistical estimand to machine-learning based estimator for epidemiologists (no wizard required)
从统计目标量到机器学习估计量：面向流行病学研究者的推导指南
Epidemiologists increasingly use causal inference methods that rely on machine learning, as these approaches can relax unnecessary model specification assumptions. While deriving and studying asymptotic properties of such estimators is a task usually associated with statisticians, it is useful for epidemiologists to understand the steps involved, as epidemiologists are often at the forefront of defining important new research questions and translating them into new…
