Abstract:
|
In this presentation, we discuss some new machine learning tools which allow researchers to balance competing outcomes in dynamic treatment regime estimation. One approach uses patient preference scores based on information gathered from patients through appropriate instruments. The second approach uses inverse reinforcement learning methods applied to observational data to learn how experts prioritize competing outcomes, even if they are not conscious of their prioritization and even if they do it with error.
