Abstract:

Dynamic treatment regimes assign personalized treatments to subjects in a multi-stage decision process. In a mobile-health setting, such regimes will be developed based on collected patient information over a long period of study. The covariates of patients involved in decision making often include data collected at different frequencies. In this paper, we propose a deep spectral Q-learning algorithm, which integrates Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with deep Q-learning to handle the mixed frequency data. The estimated regime obtained by this method is proven to converge to the optimal regime. Simulation studies show the advantages of this proposed method and we also demonstrate this method on a diabetes dataset.
