Our package does not offer support for counterfactual prediction. However, for most of our estimators (the ones
assuming a linear-in-treatment model), counterfactual prediction can be easily constructed by combining any baseline predictive model
with our causal effect model, i.e. train any machine learning model :math:`b(\vec{t}, \vec{x})` to solve the regression/classification
problem :math:`\E[Y | T=\vec{t}, X=\vec{x}]`, and then set :math:`\mu(vec{t}, \vec{x}) = \tau(\vec{t}, T, \vec{x}) + b(T, \vec{x})`,
problem :math:`\E[Y | T=\vec{t}, X=\vec{x}]`, and then set :math:`\mu(\vec{t}, \vec{x}) = \tau(\vec{t}, T, \vec{x}) + b(T, \vec{x})`,
where :math:`T` is either the observed treatment for that sample under the observational policy or the treatment
that the observational policy would have assigned to that sample. These auxiliary ML models can be trained
with any machine learning package outside of EconML.
