CRE: Interpretable Discovery and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects

Provides a new method for interpretable heterogeneous treatment effects characterization in terms of decision rules via an extensive exploration of heterogeneity patterns by an ensemble-of-trees approach, enforcing high stability in the discovery. It relies on a two-stage pseudo-outcome regression, and it is supported by theoretical convergence guarantees. Bargagli-Stoffi, F. J., Cadei, R., Lee, K., & Dominici, F.
