Average treatment effect for lm forest #1384

Open fresskylin opened 5 months ago

fresskylin commented 5 months ago

I am now using the lm_forest() function to estimate multiple continuous treatment effects. I am interested in estimating the average treatment effect using this function. Is there any way to help compute the average treatment effect for lm_forest() based on the grf package?

Hi @fresskylin, not currently, it would depend on exactly how you are using lm_forest. In the future we could consider making a tutorial that covers some estimands you could target with lm_forest and how to construct doubly robust averages of these.
