Maximum Entropy Estimation of Heterogeneous Causal Effects
异质性因果效应的最大熵估计
For the purpose of causal inference we employ a stochastic model of the data generating process, utilizing individual propensity probabilities for the treatment, and also individual and counterfactual prognosis probabilities for the outcome. We assume a generalized version of the stable unit treatment value assumption, but we do not assume any version of strongly ignorable treatment assignment. Instead of conducting a sensitivity analysis, we utilize the principle of maximum…
