InterventionParser.parse_intervention: InterventionParser.parse_intervention
In frbl/OnlineSuperLearner: Online SuperLearner package

Function to select the current intervention from an intervention list. It will check whether the current timestamp is an intervention timestamp with respect to the current outcome. If it is, it will return the actual intervention. The intervention needs to be specified as follows. Each intervention is a list consisting of three attributes: variable, when, and what. The variable entry denotes the name of the variable on which the intervention is done. Usually this is the 'A' variable, but this could be tweaked. Secondly one has to specify the when variable. This variable denotes when the intervention should be performed. Lastly the what variable. This denotes the actual intervention to be performed. E.g., one could denote treatment as 1 and control as 0. Then an intervention could be to give everybody a treatment, forcing everyone to have a 1 as treatment variable. This would then boil down to a what of 1.
