Data Challenge
The Fourth Annual Atlantic Causal Inference Conference (ACIC) Data Challenge provides an opportunity to compare causal inference methodologies across a variety of data generating processes (DGP).
.
As in previous years, the challenge focuses on computational methods of inferring causal effects from quasi-real world data. This year鈥檚 target of estimation is the population average treatment effect (ATE). There will be two tracks:
- Low dimensional datasets (varying size, e.g., 500 x 20)
- High dimensional datasets (varying size, e.g. 1000 x 200, 2000 x 200)
Participants can download datasets (between 2000 and 3000 datasets in each track), run analyses using their own computing resources, and upload results to the Challenge website for evaluation.

The deadline for submitting results is April 15, 2019.
Timeline
The 2019 Data Challenge is now open. Preliminary results will be announced during the conference.
Key Dates
