We've found MetaLearners to be a particularly compelling approach for CATE estimation because:

- they are conceptually simple
- some of them come with strong statistical guarantees, see e.g. [Nie et al. (2019)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.04912.pdf) for the R-Learner or [Kennedy (2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.14497) for the DR-Learner
- they rely on existing, arbitrary prediction approaches

The latter point is particularly important since it implies that battle-tested and production-grade code from existing prediction libraries such as `scikit-learn`, `lightgbm` or `xgboost` can be reused. Given that the field of CATE estimation is still young and engineering efforts limited, this is a highly relevant factor.
