In this paper,we propose double-layer sliced Latin hypercube design(DSLHD),in which not only the whole design is an SLHD(the first layer),but also all its slices are small SLHDs(the second layer).

Selection of variables for estimation of the causal effects

The causal effect is hard to estimate because of the existence of the confounder.Under the effective controlling of the necessary confounder,the causal effect is identifiable.
