Abstract: Causal inference has gained popularity over the last years due to the ability to see through correlation and find causal relationship between covariates. There are a number of methods that were created to this end, but there is not a systematic benchmark between those methods, including the benefits and drawbacks of using each one of them. This research compares a number of those methods on how well they access the heterogeneous treatment effect using a variety of synthetically created data sets, divided between low-dimensional and high-dimensional covariates and increasing complexity between the covariates and the target. We compare the error between those method and discuss in which setting and premises each method is better suited.
