-CausalELM provides easy-to-use implementations of modern causal inference methods. While -CausalELM implements a variety of estimators, they all have one thing in common—the use of -machine learning models to flexibly estimate causal effects. This is where the ELM in -CausalELM comes from—the machine learning model underlying all the estimators is an extreme -learning machine (ELM). ELMs are a simple neural network that use randomized weights and -offer a good tradeoff between learning non-linear dependencies and simplicity. Furthermore, -CausalELM implements bagged ensembles of ELMs to reduce the variance resulting from -randomized weights. +CausalELM provides easy-to-use implementations of modern causal inference methods in a +lightweight package.
