Σύνοψη	Machine learning-augmented causal impact analysis combines quasi-experimental counterfactual reasoning with flexible ML prediction models to estimate the causal effect of an intervention on a time series outcome. Building on Brodersen et al.'s Bayesian structural time series (BSTS) framework and extended by double/debiased ML methods, it constructs a synthetic counterfactual from donor covariates and infers the treatment effect as the gap between observed and predicted post-intervention outcomes.	Interrupted Time Series analysis is a quasi-experimental design that estimates the effect of a single, well-dated intervention by comparing the trajectory of an outcome before and after it occurs. Formalised as segmented regression by Wagner and colleagues (2002) and popularised as a public-health evaluation tutorial by Bernal, Cummins and Gasparrini (2017), it separates the intervention's impact into a change in level and a change in slope.
