tlasso: T-learner, implemented via glmnet (lasso)

In xnie/rlearner: R-learner for Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Estimation

Description

T-learner learns the treated and control expected outcome respectively by fitting two separate models.

Usage

tlasso(
  x,
  w,
  y,
  alpha = 1,
  k_folds_mu1 = NULL,
  k_folds_mu0 = NULL,
  lambda = NULL,
  lambda_choice = c("lambda.min", "lambda.1se"),
  penalty_factor = NULL
)

Arguments

x	the input features
w	the treatment variable (0 or 1)
y	the observed response (real valued)
alpha	tuning parameter for the elastic net
k_folds_mu1	number of folds for cross validation for the treated
k_folds_mu0	number of folds for cross validation for the control
lambda	user-supplied lambda sequence for cross validation
lambda_choice	how to cross-validate; choose from "lambda.min" or "lambda.1se"
penalty_factor	user-supplied penalty factor, must be of length the same as number of features in x

Examples

## Not run: 
n = 100; p = 10

x = matrix(rnorm(n*p), n, p)
w = rbinom(n, 1, 0_5)
y = pmax(x[,1], 0) * w + x[,2] + pmin(x[,3], 0) + rnorm(n)

tlasso_fit = tlasso(x, w, y)
tlasso_est = predict(tlasso_fit, x)

## End(Not run)
