תקציר	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.	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.
