Recursive partitioning for heterogeneous causal effects.
In this paper we propose methods for estimating heterogeneity in causal effects in experimental and observational studies and for conducting hypothesis tests about the magnitude of differences in treatment effects across subsets of the population. We provide a data-driven approach to partition the data into subpopulations that differ in the magnitude of their treatment effects. The approach ena...
متن کاملSorting by Recursive Partitioning
We present a new O(nlglgn) time sort algorithm that is more robust than O(n) distribution sorting algorithms. The algorithm uses a recursive partition-concatenate approach, partitioning each set into a variable number of subsets using information gathered dynamically during execution. Sequences are partitioned using statistical information computed during the sort for each sequence. _ Space com...
متن کاملIsotonic Recursive Partitioning
Isotonic regression is a well-known nonparametric tool for fitting monotonic models and has been studied from both theoretical and practical aspects for several decades, with applications in psychology, medicine, biology, among others. However, it has enjoyed only limited interest in recent years in the context of modern statistical applications. We believe the two major reasons for this limite...
متن کاملModel-based Recursive Partitioning
Recursive partitioning is embedded into the general and well-established class of parametric models that can be fitted using M-type estimators (including maximum likelihood). An algorithm for model-based recursive partitioning is suggested for which the basic steps are: (1) fit a parametric model to a data set, (2) test for parameter instability over a set of partitioning variables, (3) if ther...
متن کاملMachine Learning Methods for Estimating Heterogeneous Causal Effects
In this paper we propose methods for estimating heterogeneity in causal effects in experimental and observational studies, and for conducting inference about the magnitude of the differences in treatment effects across subsets of the population. In applications, our method provides a data-driven approach to determine which subpopulations have large or small treatment effects and to test hypothe...
