estimate_ite_cf

Estimates the Individual Treatment Effect using Causal Forest given a
response vector, a treatment vector, and a features matrix.

internal

Provides a new method for interpretable heterogeneous
treatment effects characterization in terms of decision rules
via an extensive exploration of heterogeneity patterns by an
ensemble-of-trees approach, enforcing high stability in the
discovery. It relies on a two-stage pseudo-outcome regression, and
it is supported by theoretical convergence guarantees. Bargagli-Stoffi,
