Individualized treatment rules: generating candidate clinical trials.
Individualized treatment rules, or rules for altering treatments over time in response to changes in individual covariates, are of primary importance in the practice of clinical medicine. Several statistical methods aim to estimate the rule, termed an optimal dynamic treatment regime, which will result in the best expected outcome in a population. In this article, we discuss estimation of an al...
متن کاملPerformance Guarantees for Individualized Treatment Rules.
Because many illnesses show heterogeneous response to treatment, there is increasing interest in individualizing treatment to patients [11]. An individualized treatment rule is a decision rule that recommends treatment according to patient characteristics. We consider the use of clinical trial data in the construction of an individualized treatment rule leading to highest mean response. This is...
متن کاملTreatment Evaluation with Multiple Outcome Periods under Endogeneity and Attrition
Treatment Evaluation with Multiple Outcome Periods under Endogeneity and Attrition This paper develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pre-treatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment effect on the outcomes ...
متن کاملStatistical learning of origin-specific statically optimal individualized treatment rules.
Consider a longitudinal observational or controlled study in which one collects chronological data over time on a random sample of subjects. The time-dependent process one observes on each subject contains time-dependent covariates, time-dependent treatment actions, and an outcome process or single final outcome of interest. A statically optimal individualized treatment rule (as introduced in v...
متن کاملThere Is Individualized Treatment . Why Not Individualized
Doctors use statistics to advance medical knowledge; we use a medical analogy to introduce statistical inference “from scratch” and to highlight an improvement. Your doctor, perhaps implicitly, predicts the effectiveness of a treatment for you based on its performance in a clinical trial; the trial patients serve as controls for you. The same logic underpins statistical inference: to identify t...
