A regression tree approach to identifying subgroups with differential treatment effects.
In the fight against hard-to-treat diseases such as cancer, it is often difficult to discover new treatments that benefit all subjects. For regulatory agency approval, it is more practical to identify subgroups of subjects for whom the treatment has an enhanced effect. Regression trees are natural for this task because they partition the data space. We briefly review existing regression tree al...
متن کاملA Bayesian credible subgroups approach to identifying patient subgroups with positive treatment effects.
Many new experimental treatments benefit only a subset of the population. Identifying the baseline covariate profiles of patients who benefit from such a treatment, rather than determining whether or not the treatment has a population-level effect, can substantially lessen the risk in undertaking a clinical trial and expose fewer patients to treatments that do not benefit them. The standard ana...
متن کاملCausal Rule Sets for Identifying Subgroups with Enhanced Treatment Effect
We introduce a novel generative model for interpretable subgroup analysis for causal inference applications, Causal Rule Sets (CRS). A CRS model uses a small set of short rules to capture a subgroup where the average treatment effect is elevated compared to the entire population. We present a Bayesian framework for learning a causal rule set. The Bayesian framework consists of a prior that favo...
متن کاملA Spanning Tree Based Approach to Identifying Web Services
Web service has been envisioned as an important trend in application development and integration. It allows pre-built applications/application components wrapped as web services to interact with each other through standardized interfaces and form larger application systems. This paper describes a formal approach to web services identification, which is a critical step in designing and developin...
متن کاملIdentifying Subgroups among Hardcore Smokers: a Latent Profile Approach
INTRODUCTION Hardcore smokers are smokers who have little to no intention to quit. Previous research suggests that there are distinct subgroups among hardcore smokers and that these subgroups vary in the perceived pros and cons of smoking and quitting. Identifying these subgroups could help to develop individualized messages for the group of hardcore smokers. In this study we therefore used the...
