Conditional average treatment-effects estimation using Stata
15 October 2025, 11:00 a.m. CDT
Treatment effects estimate the causal effects of a treatment on an outcome. We usually estimate average treatment effects (ATE), but taking an average across a population may not be useful when the effect is heterogeneous. Average treatment effects conditional on a set of variables (CATEs) help us understand heterogeneous treatment effects, and, by construction, are useful to evaluate how different treatment-assignment policies affect different groups in the population.
In this webinar, we will show how to use Stata 19's new command cate to answer questions such as the following:
- Are the treatment effects heterogeneous?
- How do the treatment effects vary with some variables?
- Do the treatment effects vary across prespecified groups?
- Are there unknown groups in the data for which treatment effects differ?
- Which is best among possible treatment-assignment rules?

New to Stata? Ready to analyze your data but not sure where to start?
If you are asking yourself questions such as
- How do I get data into Stata?
- What tools are available for manipulating and cleaning data?
- How can I create and customize scatterplots, histograms, and other graphs?
- How do I fit a model and graph the results?
- How do I find resources for learning Stata?
then join us for our webinar introducing Stata. In this one-hour webinar, we will take you on a tour of Stata, show you how to answer questions like these, and show you how to go even further. Ask questions in the live offering, or get started now by watching this tutorial yourself.
Machine learning using Stata via H2O
13 November 2025, 11:00 a.m. CST
Which customers will default on their loan? How will stock prices change in the coming weeks? What key factors drive surgical success?
High-performance machine learning methods can answer questions like these and many more, even when the data-generating process is complex. With the new h2oml suite in Stata, you can implement two of the most used models in machine learning via H2O: gradient boosting machine (GBM) and random forest (RF).
In this webinar, we will see how to fit these models to predict continuous, binary, and multinomial outcomes; how to evaluate model performance; and how to optimally select model hyperparameters. We will also explore the tools available in Stata to interpret and explain the predictions of our machine learning models. These include variable importance, global surrogate models, partial dependence plots, ICE curves, and Shapley values.
