A Boosting Algorithm for Estimating Generalized Propensity Scores with Continuous Treatments

In this article, we study the causal inference problem with a continuous treatment variable using propensity score-based methods. For a continuous treatment, the generalized propensity score is defined as the conditional density of the treatment-level given covariates (confounders). The dose–respons...
