The fundamental problem of causal inference--that we never observe counterfactuals-- prevents us from identifying how many might be negatively affected by a proposed …
In the era of fast-paced precision medicine, observational studies play a major role in properly evaluating new treatments in clinical practice. Yet, unobserved confounding can …
The empirical risk minimization approach to data-driven decision making assumes that we can learn a decision rule from training data drawn under the same conditions as the ones …
Unobserved confounding is common in many applications, making causal inference from observational data challenging. As a remedy, causal sensitivity analysis is an important tool …
Weighting methods are popular tools for estimating causal effects, and assessing their robustness under unobserved confounding is important in practice. Current approaches to …

Because the average treatment effect (ATE) measures the change in social welfare, even if positive, there is a risk of negative effect on, say, some 10% of the population. Assessing …
Offline reinforcement learning is important in domains such as medicine, economics, and e- commerce where online experimentation is costly, dangerous or unethical, and where the …
We consider the problem of estimating a dose-response curve, both globally and locally at a point. Continuous treatments arise often in practice, eg in the form of time spent on an …
