“…For the analysis, we focused on inferring the average treatment effect by using regression adjustment. It is interesting to extend the discussion to covariate adjustment in more complicated settings, such as high dimensional covariates (Bloniarz et al ., ; Wager et al ., ; Lei and Ding, ), logistic regression for binary outcomes (Zhang et al ., ; Freedman, 2008d; Moore and van der Laan, ; Moore et al ., ) and adjustment using machine learning methods (Bloniarz et al ., ; Wager et al ., ; Wu and Gagnon‐Bartsch, ). It is also important to consider covariate adjustment for general non‐linear estimands (Zhang et al ., ; Jiang et al ., ; Tian et al ., ) and general designs (Middleton, ), such as blocking (Miratrix et al ., ; Bugni et al ., ), matched pairs (Fogarty, ), and factorial designs (Lu, ).…”
