| Research Type | Experimental | In the experiments section, we introduce a new semi-synthetic data simulation for use in the continuous intervention setting and demonstrate improvements over the existing benchmark models. We show, using semi-synthetic experiments, that our model outperforms existing benchmarks. The addition of each component results in improved performance, with the final row (our full model) demonstrating the best performance across both datasets and for all metrics. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Pseudo-code for our algorithm can be found in Appendix D. |
| Open Source Code | Yes | The implementation of SCIGAN can be found at https://bitbucket.org/mvdschaar/ mlforhealthlabpub/ and at https://github.com/ioanabica/SCIGAN. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | We obtain features, x, from a real dataset (in this paper we use TCGA [22], News [19, 23]) and MIMIC III [24]) |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper mentions training datasets and evaluates performance, but it does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, or detailed splitting methodology) for training, validation, and testing. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, or memory amounts) used for running its experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper describes some aspects of the experimental setup, such as parameters for data generation and the default value of 'nw', and mentions hyperparameter optimization for benchmarks. However, it does not provide specific experimental setup details like concrete hyperparameter values (e.g., learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) for its own model. |
