A doubly robust learner for regression and inference with right-censored outcomes
右删失结果回归与推断的双重稳健学习器
This paper introduces a general framework for doubly robust nonparametric regression with right-censored outcomes, adapting the strategy of the 'DR-learner' for heterogeneous treatment effects to the censored data setting. Our method generalizes censoring unbiased transformations to generate pseudo-outcomes, which serve as inputs for a second-stage nonparametric regression with sample-splitting or cross-fitting. We derive a novel representation of the conditional bias of…
