Continuing the series on Causal Inference where, in the last blog post, A Deep Dive into Uplift Modeling and Meta-learners, we explored the application of Random Forest in an uplift model using synthetic data from a marketing email campaign.

This blog will expand on the causal inference foundation by examining different meta-learners and their potential to refine our understanding and execution of uplift strategies enhancing the effectiveness of decision-making.

Medical treatments, economic policies, or marketing efforts have heterogeneous impacts across individuals. This article explores strategies based on the conditional average treatment effect(CATE) using meta-learners to make personalized and effective data-driven decisions.

A quick recap of the basic terms
