Prediction decomposition for causal analysis
用于因果分析的预测分解
There is rising interest in using Machine Learning (ML) model predictions as outcomes in causal analysis. However, these methods have faced challenges in finding the true treatment effects. It is also challenging to make choices about which prediction models to choose, since we are interested not only in the accuracy of the prediction but in its ability to produce the correct causal effect in the analysis. In this paper I propose a decomposition of the prediction into…
