Efficient collaborative learning of the average treatment effect
平均处理效应的高效协作学习
In response to the growing need for generating real-world evidence from multi-site collaborative studies, we introduce an efficient collaborative learning approach to evaluate average treatment effect (ECO-ATE) in a multi-site setting under data sharing constraints. Specifically, ECO-ATE operates in a federated manner, using individual-level data from a user-defined target population and summary statistics from other source populations, to construct efficient estimator for…
