A Framework for Generalization and Transportation of Causal Estimates Under Covariate Shift
协变量偏移下因果效应推广与迁移的分析框架
Randomized experiments are an excellent tool for estimating internally valid causal effects with the sample at hand, but their external validity is frequently debated. While classical results on the estimation of Population Average Treatment Effects (PATE) implicitly assume random selection into experiments, this is typically far from true in many medical, social-scientific, and industry experiments. When the experimental sample is different from the target sample along…
