In this paper we study doubly robust estimators of various average and quantile treatment effects under unconfoundedness; we also consider an application to a setting with an instrumental variable. We unify and extend much of the recent literature by providing a very general identification result which covers binary and multi-valued treatments; unnormalized and normalized weighting; and both inverse-probability weighted (IPW) and doubly robust estimators. We also allow for subpopulation-specific average treatment effects where subpopulations can be based on covariate values in an arbitrary way. Similar to Wooldridge (2007), we then discuss estimation of the conditional mean using quasi-log likelihoods (QLL) from the linear exponential family.

Model assessment is a standard component of statistical analysis, but it has received relatively little attention within the dynamic treatment regime literature. In this paper, we focus on the dynamic-weighted ordinary least squares approach to optimal dynamic treatment regime estimation, introducing how its double-robustness property may be leveraged for model assessment, and how quasilikelihood may be used for model selection. These ideas are demonstrated through simulation studies, as well as through application to data from the sequenced treatment alternatives to relieve depression study.
