用不确定性推理生成更真实因果评估数据，提升估计器比较可靠性。

Generating synthetic datasets that accurately reflect real-world observational data is critical for evaluating causal estimators, but it remains a challenging task. Existing generative methods offer a solution by producing synthetic datasets anchored in the observed data (source data) while allowing variation in key parameters such as the treatment effect and amount of confounding bias. However, it is often unclear which generative methods to use and which values of parameters to choose when generating synthetic datasets. Moreover, existing methods typically require users to provide fixed point estimates of such parameters. This denies users the ability to express uncertainty over both generative methods and parameter values and removes the potential for posterior inference, potentially leading to unreliable estimator comparisons. We introduce simulation-based inference for causal evaluation (SBICE), a framework that treats the generative method and its corresponding generative parameters as uncertain and infers their posterior distribution given a source dataset. Leveraging techniques in simulation-based inference, SBICE identifies suitable generative methods and infers distributions over its parameter configurations to produce synthetic datasets closely aligned with the source data distribution. Empirical results demonstrate that SBICE improves the reliability of estimator evaluations by generating realistic datasets whose causal estimates closely match the estimates of the source data, making it a robust and uncertainty-aware approach to selecting causal estimators.
