Samenvatting	Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Entropy Balancing combines entropy balancing — a preprocessing step that reweights control units to match the treatment group on covariate moments — with methods that estimate how the treatment effect varies across subgroups or individuals. It produces covariate-balanced weights without parametric propensity models, then uses those weights to estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) across moderating variables.	Inverse Probability Weighting is a causal-inference method that assigns each observation a weight equal to the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received. Introduced by Robins, Hernán and Brumback (2000) for marginal structural models, it builds a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders, balancing selection bias.
