Abstract:

We propose a new reinforcement learning tool for estimating optimal treatment regimes from mobile health data in real time. The approach is distinguished from other learning methods by modeling the value function as a direct function of the treatment regime. We establish consistency and asymptotic normality as well as compare to alternative approaches via simulations studies. We also describe an interesting application to type 1 diabetes.
