Learning and Testing Exposure Mappings of Interference using Graph Convolutional Autoencoder
利用图卷积自编码器学习并检验干扰的暴露映射
Interference or spillover effects arise when an individual's outcome (e.g., health) is influenced not only by their own treatment (e.g., vaccination) but also by the treatment of others, creating challenges for evaluating treatment effects. Exposure mappings provide a framework to study such interference by explicitly modeling how the treatment statuses of contacts within an individual's network affect their outcome. Most existing research relies on a priori exposure…
