Title: Shared-Parameter G-Estimation of an Optimal Adaptive Treatment Strategy for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract:

The doubly-robust method of G-estimation can be used to estimate used an adaptive treatment strategy in which parameters are shared across different stages of the treatment sequence, allowing for more efficient estimation and simpler treatment decision rules. The approach is computationally stable, and produces consistent estimators provided either the outcome model or the treatment allocation model is correctly specified. In this talk, the method will be demonstrated in the context of the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory condition which can require ongoing treatment.
