New methods tackle policy learning with missing treatment data

Researchers have developed new methods for policy learning that can handle situations where treatment data is incomplete. These methods extend existing estimators to work with missing at random (MAR) and missing completely conditionally at random (MCCAR) data, providing more accurate and efficient policy value and conditional average treatment effect (CATE) estimations. Experiments show that correctly specifying the missingness mechanism is crucial for avoiding bias, and the proposed MAR estimator offers improved efficiency over MCCAR when MAR assumptions are met.

    Learning Who to Treat When Treatment is Missing

    arXiv:2607.14346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Policy learning methods are increasingly used to inform treatment allocation under budget constraints. Most proposed methods assume complete treatment data, yet applications frequently suffer from missingness that can bias estimates…
