The method I've been working on with @graduatedescent, @EmmaBrunskill @drnigam, and S Wager for evaluating heterogeneous treatment effect estimators is on CRAN/grf! See grf-labs.github.io/grf/artic…. TL;DR: train/test split evaluation for CATE estimators with hypothesis test + p-value

GRF 2.1 is now available on CRAN. This release introduces the RATE metric for validating treatment heterogeneity, and extends causal survival forests so they can be used to target survival probabilities. Let us know what you think on GitHub! github.com/grf-labs/grf

Also also, thanks to folks from @Susan_Athey's group for trying out the method and providing feedback, as well as other early adopters (@_KSphs, @nikosIgnatiadis, and others) who have tried out the implementation in grf. We welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement!
