Description

Hello, I am a fan of EconML, but I will be extremely happy if you develop an ML model to perform an estimation of overall, direct, and indirect causal effects for single time point interventions in network-dependent (non-IID) data in the presence of interference and/or spillover, as in: Auto-G-Computation of Causal Effects on a Network. Tchetgen Tchetgen et al. Journal of the American Statistical Association, Volume 116, 2021 - Issue 534

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reading the referenced Auto-G-Computation paper and comparing its overall, direct, and indirect effect estimands with EconML’s existing treatment-effect algorithms. Done would require an agreed design and support for single-time interventions with network dependence, interference, and spillover effects.
