Description

Currently the Orthogonal Random Forest module only supports giving the treatment effects of n treatment on the test set X_test. It would be helpful if there is a method to get the predicted Y of X_test for each treatment, including the control group. So an array of (n+1) columns is returned. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the Orthogonal Random Forest module and its existing method for treatment effects on X_test. Trace how treatments and the control group are represented, then identify the tests covering predictions. Done means a method returns an (n+1)-column array of predicted Y values for X_test, including control, with corresponding test coverage.
