7.2 The technical paper

The methods contribution (regHAL-TMLE Delta-method inference for shift interventions on injection volume, and the GPU active-set solver for full-panel highly-adaptive-lasso estimation) is described in the paper draft in the repository (PAPER_DRAFT.md), which extends:

Matthews, L. et al. SPE-228051: Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Induced Seismicity Attribution.
