tidyhte: Tidy Estimation of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects

Description

Estimates heterogeneous treatment effects using tidy semantics on experimental or observational data. Methods are based on the doubly-robust learner of Kennedy (n.d.) arXiv:2004.14497. You provide a simple recipe for what machine learning algorithms to use in estimating the nuisance functions and 'tidyhte' will take care of cross-validation, estimation, model selection, diagnostics and construction of relevant quantities of interest about the variability of treatment effects.

Details

The best place to get started with tidyhte is vignette("experimental_analysis") which walks through a full analysis of HTE on simulated data, or vignette("methodological_details") which gets into more of the details underlying the method.
