Statistical Inference for the Mean Outcome Under a Possibly Non-Unique Optimal Treatment Strategy
We consider challenges that arise in the estimation of the value of an optimal individualized treatment strategy defined as the treatment rule that maximizes the population mean outcome, where the candidate treatment rules are restricted to depend on baseline covariates. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the pathwise differentiability of the optimal value, a key condition needed...
متن کاملOptimal Treatment Strategy for a Tumor Model under Immune Suppression
We propose a mathematical model describing tumor-immune interactions under immune suppression. These days evidences indicate that the immune suppression related to cancer contributes to its progression. The mathematical model for tumor-immune interactions would provide a new methodology for more sophisticated treatment options of cancer. To do this we have developed a system of 11 ordinary diff...
متن کاملStatistical Inference for the Lomax Distribution under Progressively Type-II Censoring with Binomial Removal
This paper considers parameter estimations in Lomax distribution under progressive type-II censoring with random removals, assuming that the number of units removed at each failure time has a binomial distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are derived using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The Bayes estimates of the parameters are obtained using both the squared erro...
متن کاملAccurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution
Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
متن کاملTargeted Learning of the Mean Outcome under an Optimal Dynamic Treatment Rule.
We consider estimation of and inference for the mean outcome under the optimal dynamic two time-point treatment rule defined as the rule that maximizes the mean outcome under the dynamic treatment, where the candidate rules are restricted to depend only on a user-supplied subset of the baseline and intermediate covariates. This estimation problem is addressed in a statistical model for the data...
