Uplift modeling with continuous treatments: A predict-then-optimize approach
Simon De Vos, Christopher Bockel-Rickermann, Stefan Lessmann +1
The goal of uplift modeling is to recommend actions that optimize specific outcomes by determining which entities should receive treatment. One common approach involves two steps:…
Sources of Gain: Decomposing Performance in Conditional Average Dose Response Estimation
Christopher Bockel-Rickermann, Toon Vanderschueren, Tim Verdonck +1
Estimating conditional average dose responses (CADR) is an important but challenging problem. Estimators must correctly model the potentially complex relationships between covariat…
A Causal Perspective on Loan Pricing: Investigating the Impacts of Selection Bias on Identifying Bid-Response Functions
Christopher Bockel-Rickermann, Sam Verboven, Tim Verdonck +1
In lending, where prices are specific to both customers and products, having a well-functioning personalized pricing policy in place is essential to effective business making. Typi…
Using representation balancing to learn conditional-average dose responses from clustered data
Christopher Bockel-Rickermann, Toon Vanderschueren, Jeroen Berrevoets +2
Estimating a unit's responses to interventions with an associated dose, the "conditional average dose response" (CADR), is relevant in a variety of domains, from healthcare to busi…
