<h1><img src="doc/econml-logo-icon.png" width="80px" align="left" style="margin-right: 10px;"> EconML: A Python Package for ML-Based Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Estimation</h1>
**EconML** is a Python package for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects from observational data via machine learning. This package was designed and built as part of the [ALICE project](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/alice/) at Microsoft Research with the goal to combine state-of-the-art machine learning
techniques with econometrics to bring automation to complex causal inference problems. The promise of EconML:
* Implement recent techniques in the literature at the intersection of econometrics and machine learning
* Maintain flexibility in modeling the effect heterogeneity (via techniques such as random forests, boosting, lasso and neural nets), while preserving the causal interpretation of the learned model and often offering valid confidence intervals
* Use a unified API
* Build on standard Python packages for Machine Learning and Data Analysis
One of the biggest promises of machine learning is to automate decision making in a multitude of domains. At the core of many data-driven personalized decision scenarios is the estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects: what is the causal effect of an intervention on an outcome of interest for a sample with a particular set of features? In a nutshell, this toolkit is designed to measure the causal effect of some treatment variable(s) `T` on an outcome
variable `Y`, controlling for a set of features `X, W` and how does that effect vary as a function of `X`. The methods implemented are applicable even with observational (non-experimental or historical) datasets. For the estimation results to have a causal interpretation, some methods assume no unobserved confounders (i.e. there is no unobserved variable not included in `X, W` that simultaneously has an effect on both `T` and `Y`), while others assume access to an instrument `Z` (i.e. an observed variable `Z` that has an effect on the treatment `T` but no direct effect on the outcome `Y`). Most methods provide confidence intervals and inference results.
For detailed information about the package, consult the documentation at https://econml.azurewebsites.net/.

### Causal Model Selection and Cross-Validation
<details>
<summary>Causal model selection with the `RScorer` (click to expand)</summary>
```Python
from econml.score import RScorer
# split data in train-validation
X_train, X_val, T_train, T_val, Y_train, Y_val = train_test_split(X, T, y, test_size=.4)
# define list of CATE estimators to select among
reg = lambda: RandomForestRegressor(min_samples_leaf=20)
clf = lambda: RandomForestClassifier(min_samples_leaf=20)
models = [('ldml', LinearDML(model_y=reg(), model_t=clf(), discrete_treatment=True,
linear_first_stages=False, cv=3)),
('xlearner', XLearner(models=reg(), cate_models=reg(), propensity_model=clf())),
('dalearner', DomainAdaptationLearner(models=reg(), final_models=reg(), propensity_model=clf())),
('slearner', SLearner(overall_model=reg())),
('drlearner', DRLearner(model_propensity=clf(), model_regression=reg(),
model_final=reg(), cv=3)),
('rlearner', NonParamDML(model_y=reg(), model_t=clf(), model_final=reg(),
discrete_treatment=True, cv=3)),
('dml3dlasso', DML(model_y=reg(), model_t=clf(),
model_final=LassoCV(cv=3, fit_intercept=False),
discrete_treatment=True,
featurizer=PolynomialFeatures(degree=3),
linear_first_stages=False, cv=3))
]
# fit cate models on train data
models = [(name, mdl.fit(Y_train, T_train, X=X_train)) for name, mdl in models]
# score cate models on validation data
scorer = RScorer(model_y=reg(), model_t=clf(),
discrete_treatment=True, cv=3, mc_iters=2, mc_agg='median')
scorer.fit(Y_val, T_val, X=X_val)
rscore = [scorer.score(mdl) for _, mdl in models]
# select the best model
mdl, _ = scorer.best_model([mdl for _, mdl in models])
# create weighted ensemble model based on score performance
mdl, _ = scorer.ensemble([mdl for _, mdl in models])
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>First Stage Model Selection (click to expand)</summary>
First stage models can be selected either by passing in cross-validated models (e.g. `sklearn.linear_model.LassoCV`) to EconML's estimators or perform the first stage model selection outside of EconML and pass in the selected model. Unless selecting among a large set of hyperparameters, choosing first stage models externally is the preferred method due to statistical and computational advantages.
```Python
from econml.dml import LinearDML
from sklearn import clone
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
cv_model = GridSearchCV(
estimator=RandomForestRegressor(),
param_grid={
"max_depth": [3, None],
"n_estimators": (10, 30, 50, 100, 200),
"max_features": (2, 4, 6),
},
cv=5,
)
# First stage model selection within EconML
# This is more direct, but computationally and statistically less efficient
est = LinearDML(model_y=cv_model, model_t=cv_model)
# First stage model selection ouside of EconML
# This is the most efficient, but requires boilerplate code
model_t = clone(cv_model).fit(W, T).best_estimator_
model_y = clone(cv_model).fit(W, Y).best_estimator_
est = LinearDML(model_y=model_t, model_t=model_y)
```
</details>
### Inference
Whenever inference is enabled, then one can get a more structure `InferenceResults` object with more elaborate inference information, such
as p-values and z-statistics. When the CATE model is linear and parametric, then a `summary()` method is also enabled. For instance:
```Python
from econml.dml import LinearDML
# Use defaults
est = LinearDML()
est.fit(Y, T, X=X, W=W)
# Get the effect inference summary, which includes the standard error, z test score, p value, and confidence interval given each sample X[i]
est.effect_inference(X_test).summary_frame(alpha=0.05, value=0, decimals=3)
# Get the population summary for the entire sample X
est.effect_inference(X_test).population_summary(alpha=0.1, value=0, decimals=3, tol=0.001)
# Get the parameter inference summary for the final model
est.summary()
```
<details><summary>Example Output (click to expand)</summary>
```Python
# Get the effect inference summary, which includes the standard error, z test score, p value, and confidence interval given each sample X[i]
est.effect_inference(X_test).summary_frame(alpha=0.05, value=0, decimals=3)
```
```Python
# Get the population summary for the entire sample X
est.effect_inference(X_test).population_summary(alpha=0.1, value=0, decimals=3, tol=0.001)
```
```Python
# Get the parameter inference summary for the final model
est.summary()
```
</details>
### Policy Learning
You can also perform direct policy learning from observational data, using the doubly robust method for offline
policy learning. These methods directly predict a recommended treatment, without internally fitting an explicit
model of the conditional average treatment effect.
<details>
<summary>Doubly Robust Policy Learning (click to expand)</summary>
```Python
from econml.policy import DRPolicyTree, DRPolicyForest
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
# fit a single binary decision tree policy
policy = DRPolicyTree(max_depth=1, min_impurity_decrease=0.01, honest=True)
policy.fit(y, T, X=X, W=W)
# predict the recommended treatment
recommended_T = policy.predict(X)
# plot the binary decision tree
plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))
policy.plot()
# get feature importances
importances = policy.feature_importances_
# fit a binary decision forest
policy = DRPolicyForest(max_depth=1, min_impurity_decrease=0.01, honest=True)
policy.fit(y, T, X=X, W=W)

# For Developers
You can get started by cloning this repository. We use
[setuptools](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) for building and distributing our package.
We rely on some recent features of setuptools, so make sure to upgrade to a recent version with
`pip install setuptools --upgrade`. Then from your local copy of the repository you can run `pip install -e .` to get started (but depending on what you're doing you might want to install with extras instead, like `pip install -e .[plt]` if you want to use matplotlib integration, or you can use `pip install -e .[all]` to include all extras).
## Running the tests
This project uses [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/) for testing. To run tests locally after installing the package, you can use `pip install pytest-runner` followed by `python setup.py pytest`.
We have added pytest marks to some tests to make it easier to run a subset, and you can set the PYTEST_ADDOPTS environment variable to take advantage of this. For instance, you can set it to `-m "not (notebook or automl)"` to skip notebook and automl tests that have some additional dependencies.
## Generating the documentation
This project's documentation is generated via [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/main/index.html). Note that we use [graphviz](https://graphviz.org/)'s
`dot` application to produce some of the images in our documentation, so you should make sure that `dot` is installed and in your path.
To generate a local copy of the documentation from a clone of this repository, just run `python setup.py build_sphinx -W -E -a`, which will build the documentation and place it under the `build/sphinx/html` path.
The reStructuredText files that make up the documentation are stored in the [docs directory](https://github.com/Microsoft/EconML/tree/main/doc); module documentation is automatically generated by the Sphinx build process.
