Double Machine Learning Methods for Estimating Average Treatment Effects: A Comparative Study
估计平均处理效应的双重机器学习方法:比较研究
Observational cohort studies are increasingly being used for comparative effectiveness research to assess the safety of therapeutics. Recently, various doubly robust methods have been proposed for average treatment effect estimation by combining the treatment model and the outcome model via different vehicles, such as matching, weighting, and regression. The key advantage of doubly robust estimators is that they require either the treatment model or the outcome model to be…
