Entropy balancing for continuous treatments

S Tübbicke - Journal of Econometric Methods, 2022 - degruyter.com
Interest in evaluating the effects of continuous treatments has been on the rise recently. To
facilitate the estimation of causal effects in this setting, the present paper introduces entropy …

Double debiased machine learning nonparametric inference with continuous treatments

K Colangelo, YY Lee - arxiv preprint arxiv:2004.03036, 2020 - arxiv.org
We propose a doubly robust inference method for causal effects of continuous treatment
variables, under unconfoundedness and with nonparametric or high-dimensional nuisance …

Proximal mediation analysis

O Dukes, I Shpitser, EJ Tchetgen Tchetgen - Biometrika, 2023 - academic.oup.com
A common concern when trying to draw causal inferences from observational data is that the
measured covariates are insufficiently rich to account for all sources of confounding. In …

Kernel methods for causal functions: dose, heterogeneous and incremental response curves

R Singh, L Xu, A Gretton - Biometrika, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We propose estimators based on kernel ridge regression for nonparametric causal functions
such as dose, heterogeneous and incremental response curves. The treatment and …

Lee bounds with a continuous treatment in sample selection

YY Lee, CA Liu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.04312, 2024 - arxiv.org
Sample selection problems arise when treatment affects both the outcome and the
researcher's ability to observe it. This paper generalizes Lee (2009) bounds for the average …

Nonparametric inference on dose-response curves without the positivity condition

Y Zhang, YC Chen, A Giessing - arxiv preprint arxiv:2405.09003, 2024 - arxiv.org
Existing statistical methods in causal inference often rely on the assumption that every
individual has some chance of receiving any treatment level regardless of its associated …

High-dimensional inference for dynamic treatment effects

J Bradic, W Ji, Y Zhang - The Annals of Statistics, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
This supplementary document contains additional justifications and the proofs of the
theoretical results presented in the main document. All the results and notation are …

Nonparametric estimation of the continuous treatment effect with measurement error

W Huang, Z Zhang - Journal of the Royal Statistical Society …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We identify the average dose–response function (ADRF) for a continuously valued error-
contaminated treatment by a weighted conditional expectation. We then estimate the …

Continuous treatment effects with surrogate outcomes

Z Zeng, D Arbour, A Feller, R Addanki, R Rossi… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In many real-world causal inference applications, the primary outcomes (labels) are often
partially missing, especially if they are expensive or difficult to collect. If the missingness …

A variational framework for estimating continuous treatment effects with measurement error

E Gao, H Bondell, W Huang, M Gong - The Twelfth International …, 2024 - openreview.net
Estimating treatment effects has numerous real-world applications in various fields, such as
epidemiology and political science. While much attention has been devoted to addressing …
