ddml - Double/Debiased Machine Learning

Estimate common causal parameters using double/debiased machine learning as proposed by Chernozhukov et al. (2018) <doi:10.1111/ectj.12097>. 'ddml' simplifies estimation based on (short-)stacking as discussed in Ahrens et al. (2024) <doi:10.1002/jae.3103>, which leverages multiple base learners to increase robustness to the underlying data generating process.

kcmeans - Conditional Expectation Function Estimation with K-Conditional-Means

Implementation of the KCMeans regression estimator studied by Wiemann (2023) <arXiv:2311.17021> for expectation function estimation conditional on categorical variables. Computation leverages the unconditional KMeans implementation in one dimension using dynamic programming algorithm of Wang and Song (2011) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2011-015>, allowing for global solutions in time polynomial in the number of observed categories.

civ - Categorical Instrumental Variables

Implementation of the categorical instrumental variable (CIV) estimator proposed by Wiemann (2023) <arXiv:2311.17021>. CIV allows for optimal instrumental variable estimation in settings with relatively few observations per category. To obtain valid inference in these challenging settings, CIV leverages a regularization assumption that implies existence of a latent categorical variable with fixed finite support achieving the same first stage fit as the observed instrument.
