CausalTreeLearnForest

[athammad]

Dear @chris-tran-16,

I was wondering if the CausalTreeLearnForest could be used to learn triggers using a Random Forest Approach. This would have some considerable advantages over the simpler CausalTree.
If this is the case, could you please provide an example?
I want to explore the possibility of using your library to explore triggers for heterogeneous treatment effects.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Ahmed

Hi @athammad ,

Sorry to get back to you so late. The CausalTreeLearnForest is an unfinished project I had been working on for utilizing CausalTree using a Random Forest approach, but I don't recall how far along I was with it. In any case I don't think I thought about how triggers would be used in this setting, as for binary treatments the idea seems pretty straightforward.

Thanks for your interest,
Chris
