Model-Assisted Inference for Covariate-Specific Treatment Effects with High-dimensional Data
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Covariate-specific treatment effects (CSTEs) represent heterogeneous treatment effects across subpopulations defined by certain selected covariates. In this article, we consider marginal structural models where CSTEs are linearly represented using a set of basis functions of the selected covariates. We develop a new approach in high-dimensional settings to obtain not only doubly robust point estimators of CSTEs, but also model-assisted confidence intervals, which are valid when a propensity score model is correctly specified but an outcome regression model may be misspecified. With a linear outcome model and subpopulations defined by discrete covariates, both point estimators and confidence intervals are doubly robust for CSTEs. In contrast, confidence intervals from existing high-dimensional methods are valid only when both the propensity score and outcome models are correctly specified. We establish asymptotic properties of the proposed point estimators and the associated confidence intervals. We present simulation studies and empirical applications which demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method compared with competing ones.
