Set-valued dynamic treatment regimes for competing outcomes
[article]
2012
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a method for constructing dynamic treatment regimes that accommodates competing outcomes by recommending sets of treatments at each decision point. ...
Current methods for estimating optimal dynamic treatment regimes, for example Q-learning, require the specification of a single outcome by which the 'goodness' of competing dynamic treatment regimes are ...
