Targeted Learning Software

The software ecosystem for Targeted Learning. Statistics, machine learning, causal inference, #rstats. Brought to you by @mark_vdlaan & co.

@mark_vdlaan @topepos The handbook includes code examples and problems motivated by three different real-world data sets: https://t.co/G42K1gHarY. We'd be happy to discuss more too!

@mark_vdlaan @topepos Our handbook includes in-depth introductions to both super learning and targeted learning of causal effects with inference, including both classical causal parameters (e.g., average treatment effect) and modern approaches (based on optimal dynamic and stochastic interventions).

My lecture last night at @turinginst @LSHTM & excellent introduction by @PhilDawid available here: https://t.co/F9WwIRYR3Q

Just to clarify: @mark_vdlaan ‘s lecture is about estimation using targeted learning, typically applied in causal inference, but after identification. Nevertheless, it’s going to be epic! Sold out, but live-streamed #epitwitter

@seanjtaylor Along with @mark_vdlaan @podTockom @rachaelvp and others, we’ve also been writing what we hope is a gentle and applied introduction in our live @tlverse handbook https://t.co/QO1puFI0Bs. Feedback very welcome if it turns out to be helpful #statstwitter #epitwitter

Asked for a comparison of TMLE and double machine learning, this blog post comparing the two approaches in historical context came together quickly https://t.co/veiRrANybW #causalinference #statstwitter #epitwitter #machinelearning

Exciting news, and there’s more: together with @SVansteelandt and @mark_vdlaan we’re running a #causalinference #MachineLearning masterclass @turinginst the previous day (March 3rd). Applications will open early in the new year. Watch this space!

How about a statistically unbiased estimate of something interesting, and don't even bother estimating something that isn't interesting?

@ildiazm @jon_y_huang @LauraBBalzer @Tfeend @ProfMattFox There’s also an open handbook we’re writing (https://t.co/oC7dtIQXP7) and recent workshop materials (https://t.co/IjUFP5hUFO) with software usage examples. Please let us know how best we can improve these tools!

“Individual men are insoluble puzzles, but in aggregate they become a mathematical certainty. You can't foretell what 1 man will do, but you can say what an avg # will be up to. Individuals vary but %s remain constant. So says the statistician.”
