The estimation of treatment effects based on observational data usually involves multiple confounders, and dimension reduction is often desirable and sometimes inevitable. We first clarify the definition of a central subspace that is relevant for the efficient estimation of average treatment effects. A criterion is then proposed to simultaneously estimate the structural dimension, the basis matrix of the joint central subspace, and the optimal bandwidth for estimating the conditional treatment e ...[more]
