The problem of evaluating the effectiveness of a treatment or policy commonly appears in causal inference applications under network interference.
A new method called High-Dimensional Network Causal Inference (HNCI) is proposed in this paper.
HNCI provides valid confidence intervals for the average direct treatment effect on the treated (ADET) and a confidence set for the neighborhood size for interference effect.
The method leverages a linear regression formulation and existing literature from linear regression and homogeneity pursuit to conduct valid statistical inferences with theoretical guarantees.
