Tiivistelmä	Machine Learning-Augmented Interrupted Time Series (ML-ITS) estimates the causal effect of a discrete intervention by training a machine learning model on pre-intervention time series data, projecting a counterfactual trajectory into the post-intervention period, and measuring the gap between observed and predicted outcomes. It extends classical ITS by replacing parametric trend assumptions with flexible ML estimators such as gradient boosting, random forests, or Bayesian structural time-series models.	Difference-in-Differences is a causal-inference method that estimates the effect of an intervention by comparing how a treatment group and a control group change over time. Made famous by Card and Krueger's 1994 minimum-wage study and developed in Angrist and Pischke's Mostly Harmless Econometrics, it isolates the treatment effect as the difference between the two groups' before-after changes.
