Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1. Weighting by Uniform Transformer (WUNT) ... Algorithm 2. Weighting by Uniform Transformer for Average Treatment Effect
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about releasing its own source code or a link to a repository for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper uses simulated data for its experiments, as described in Appendix B, rather than a publicly available dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper uses simulated data and multiple replications of simulation experiments, but it does not specify train/validation/test splits for an external dataset.
Hardware Specification Yes All these algorithms are evaluated with the same laptop (Intel Core i5 @2.3 GHz/8GB).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'R package random Forest', 'R package CBPS', 'R package ATE', 'R package sbw', and 'mosek' as tools used for comparison, but it does not provide specific version numbers for these software components.
Experiment Setup Yes In the first set of simulation studies, we compare four ways to construct the uniform transformer Φ from the control samples. ... We vary ρ from 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. ... The sample size is 500 for the treated group and 1000 for the control group. ... In order to assess the effect of sample size, we vary it from 1000, 2000, and 5000.
