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 کاملAnalyzing sequentially randomized trials based on causal effect models for realistic individualized treatment rules.
In this paper, we argue that causal effect models for realistic individualized treatment rules represent an attractive tool for analyzing sequentially randomized trials. Unlike a number of methods proposed previously, this approach does not rely on the assumption that intermediate outcomes are discrete or that models for the distributions of these intermediate outcomes given the observed past a...
متن کاملGENERATING FUZZY RULES FOR PROTEIN CLASSIFICATION
This paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. Since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. These features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...
متن کاملGenerating Individualized Curricula
In this paper, we present a system called ATIC, for generating and using individualized curricula. Each curriculum is based on an extended precedence graph overlay model, which supports conjunctions and disjunctions of concepts. A student model stores a complete information about each student. A curriculum created with ATIC supports adaptive tutoring; that is, ATIC will change the presentation ...
