Causal EpiNets: Precision-corrected Bounds on Individual Treatment Effects using Epistemic Neural Networks
Researchers introduce Causal EpiNets, a neural network framework that improves estimation of individual treatment effects using Probability of Necessity and Sufficiency bounds. The method resolves critical limitations in finite-sample estimation by guaranteeing structural constraint satisfaction and correcting extremum bias, achieving better coverage and validity than standard plug-in estimators.
