Causal Inference

5

Do you have any example showing how PyMC-BART can be used for causal inference? Do you have plans for implementing features similar to the [bartCause](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bartCause/index.html) R package?

Is it possible to apply BART to categorical variables?

2

Greetings all, I know BART is relatively new, but I wonder if it is possible to apply BART to categorical (string) variables. Simply factorizing variables would do the trick? How...

Plotting conditional posteriors

8

Hi! Thanks for creating this great package :) I think one important aspect of understanding models is the ability to explore conditional posteriors. In the [tutorial](https://www.pymc.io/projects/bart/en/latest/examples/BART_introduction.html#) you mention the `kind="ice"`...

Improve conceptual description of BART and high level description of implementation

Following #31 we need to better explain what BART is doing, in particular some details of the latest implementation.

We should check that X is 2D, or at least make it more explicit

We currently mention that X is "a covariate matrix", and Y a "response vector", but we could be more explicit about the expected shapes.

Add monotonicity constraint

Its often useful to be able to model known monotonic relationships; using monotone trees is one way of doing this. ## Thoughts on implementation Some inspiration [here](https://projecteuclid.org/journals/bayesian-analysis/advance-publication/mBART-Multidimensional-Monotone-BART/10.1214/21-BA1259.full)
