TITLE:Conformal Meta-learners for Predictive Inference of Individual Treatment Effects


Abstract

This paper investigates predictive inference for individual treatment effects (ITEs) using machine learning techniques. Traditional approaches have primarily concentrated on developing meta-learners for estimating the conditional average treatment effect (CATE), offering point estimates without considering predictive intervals. The study introduces conformal meta-learners, a framework that enhances traditional CATE meta-learners by applying the conformal prediction procedure to provide predictive intervals for ITEs. This method is validated through a stochastic ordering framework, highlighting that conformal meta-learners can achieve valid inferences with desired coverage levels.
