Interval Estimation of Individual-Level Causal Effects Under Unobserved Confounding

Nathan Kallus, Xiaojie Mao, Angela Zhou

We study the problem of learning conditional average treatment effects (CATE) from observational data with unobserved confounders. The CATE function maps baseline covariates to ind…
