报告摘要:We argue that the fundamental issue of measuring the treatment effects is to obtain good predictions of the missing outcomes. However, there is no realized value to evaluate how good the predicted value generated by a particular method is. The choice of prediction method has to rely on the compatibility of the observed data with the underlying assumptions of an approach and the approach’s predictive ability. In this paper, we selectively review some causal and noncausal approaches and discuss their limitations from this perspective.
