报告摘要：Personalized medicine has recently received increasing attention because of the significant heterogeneity of patient responses to the same medication. The estimation of individualized treatment regimes or individualized treatment rules is an important part of personalized medicine. Individualized treatment regimes are designed to recommend treatment decisions to patients based on their individual characteristics and to maximize the overall clinical benefit to the patients. However, most of the existing statistical methods are mainly focus on the estimation of optimal individualized decision rules for the two categories of treatment options and rely heavily on data from randomized controlled trials. There has been a relative lack of research work on the selection of multi-categorical treatment options in real-world settings. In this work, we address this challenge and propose a machine learning approach (AI-learning) to estimate optimal treatment regimes. This new learning approach allows for more accurate assessment of individual treatment response and alleviation of confounding. The increment value functions are proposed to compare matched pairs under a tree structure, and this approach allows for easy handling of the outcomes of various types of measuring treatment responses (including continuous, ordinal, and discrete outcomes). Through a large number of simulation studies, we demonstrate that AI-learning outperforms existing methods. Lastly, the proposed method is illustrated in an analysis of AIDS clinical trial data.
