Description

@gregorybchris @kbattocchi Hi,
I have this output:

Screen Shot 2022-09-13 at 9 59 55 PM However, I am not sure what the T0 and T1 map to? My two treatment features are both integers from 0-10. How do I know what the combination (actual values) of treatment 1 and treatment 2 is which is behind T0 and T1? Or am I misunderstanding and these T0 and T1 mean just an increase in 1 unit of that treatment? Please clarify. Thanks

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is mentioned. Start by identifying the EconML estimator and treatment encoding that produced the shown output, then verify how T0 and T1 map to the two integer treatment variables. Done means documenting the mapping clearly enough to identify the actual treatment combinations or unit changes.
