Improving RCT-Based Treatment Effect Estimation Under Covariate Mismatch via Calibrated Alignment

This paper addresses a critical challenge in clinical trial analysis: improving treatment effect estimation when the population used to develop a model differs from the target population where the treatment is applied. The authors propose a calibrated alignment method that adjusts for covariate mismatch, enabling more accurate and reliable treatment effect predictions across different patient populations—a key concern in healthcare AI deployment.
