Description

This issue will likely be touched by a number of other issues as we flesh out the quantitative outputs and work through more examples. But it is important to go beyond the slightly vague 'causal impact' terminology to be more specific about:

  • Average Treatment Effect (ATE)
  • Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE)
  • Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT)
  • Average Treatment Effect on the Control (ATC)
