Entropy Balancing for Causal Generalization with Target Sample Summary Information
利用目标样本汇总信息进行因果推广的熵平衡
In this paper, we focus on estimating the average treatment effect (ATE) of a target population when individual-level data from a source population and summary-level data (e.g., first or second moments of certain covariates) from the target population are available. In the presence of heterogeneous treatment effect, the ATE of the target population can be different from that of the source population when distributions of treatment effect modifiers are dissimilar in these two…
