We develop three alternative approaches for handling unobserved individual heterogeneity based on extending the within-group estimator, first-difference estimator, and correlated random effect estimator (Mundlak, 1978) for non-linear models.

We find that, while the choice of algorithm remains crucial to obtaining state-of-the-art performance, hyperparameter selection in ensemble settings strongly influences the choice of algorithm, in that a poor choice of hyperparameters can lead to analysts using algorithms which do not give state-of-the-art performance for their data.

We also find hyperparameter tuning and model evaluation are much more important than causal estimators and ML methods.

Inferring individualised treatment effects from observational data can unlock the potential for targeted interventions.
