Cross-World Assumption and Refining Prediction Intervals for Individual Treatment Effects
arXiv:2507.12581v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While average treatment effects (ATE) and conditional average treatment effects (CATE) provide valuable population- and subgroup-level summaries, they fail to capture uncertainty at the individual level. For high-stakes decision-making, individual treatment effect (ITE) estimates must be accompanied by valid prediction intervals that reflect heterogeneity and unit-specific uncertainty. However, the fundamental unidentifiability of ITEs limits the ability to derive precise and reliable individual-level uncertainty estimates. To address this challenge, we investigate the role of […]
