Rezumat	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.	The Synthetic Control Method estimates the causal effect of a treatment or policy on a single treated unit by constructing a weighted combination of untreated units — the synthetic control — that closely resembles the treated unit before the intervention. The gap between the treated unit and its synthetic counterpart after the intervention is the estimated treatment effect.
