dml_boosting {DMLLZU}R Documentation

Double Machine Learning based on boosting

Description

The biggest difference with other method, the trees of this method are generated sequentially. Each tree is constructed using the information of the previous generated trees. Each tree is generated according to a modified version of the original data set, and finally these trees are combined to establish a prediction model

Usage

dml_boosting(y,x,d,data,sed)

Arguments

y, x, d, data, sed

Value

y Dependent variable;

d Independent variable;

x Control variable;

sed A random seed;

data Data
