Researchers have developed a new machine learning framework to address the identification and estimation of conditional principal causal effects within subpopulations. This novel approach, termed a "doubly cross-fit doubly robust machine learner," utilizes sequential orthogonal learning and regularized least-squares sieves to handle the complex nested nuisance structure inherent in principal stratification. The method relaxes the monotonicity assumption by employing an odds ratio sensitivity parameterization and has been validated through simulations and an empirical analysis of an acute lung injury trial, revealing significant treatment effect heterogeneity.
