Hyperparameter tuning and model evaluation in causal effect estimation

D Machlanski, S Samothrakis, P Clarke - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.01412, 2023 - arxiv.org
The performance of most causal effect estimators relies on accurate predictions of high-
dimensional non-linear functions of the observed data. The remarkable flexibility of modern …
