Machine Learning-Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting
Machine learning-augmented inverse probability weighting replaces parametric logistic regression with flexible ML algorithms to estimate treatment propensity scores, then reweights the sample to balance treated and control units. By leveraging data-adaptive learners such as lasso, random forests, or gradient boosting, ML-IPW controls for high-dimensional and nonlinear confounders that classical IPW misses, while retaining the intuitive weighting framework.
