Covariance Estimation for Matrix-valued Data

Zhang, Y., Shen, W., & Kong, D. (2022, May 26). JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION.

By: Y. Zhang n, W. Shen * & D. Kong *

author keywords: Bandable; Distribution-free; Minimax rate; Robust; Separable
TL;DR: A unified framework for estimating bandable covariance is formulated, and an efficient algorithm based on rank one unconstrained Kronecker product approximation is introduced, and the derived minimax lower bound shows the proposed estimator is rate-optimal under certain divergence regimes of matrix size.

ENTROPY LEARNING FOR DYNAMIC TREATMENT REGIMES

Jiang, B., Song, R., Li, J., Zeng, D., Lu, W., He, X., … Kallus, N. (2019, October). STATISTICA SINICA, Vol. 29, pp. 1633–1710.

By: B. Jiang *, R. Song n , J. Li *, D. Zeng  n, W. Lu, X. He, S. Xu, J. Wang ...

author keywords: Dynamic treatment regime; entropy learning; personalized medicine
TL;DR: A entropy learning approach to estimate the optimal individualized treatment rules (ITRs) is proposed and the asymptotic distributions for the estimated rules are obtained so as to provide valid inference. (via Semantic Scholar)

Interpretable Dynamic Treatment Regimes

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION, 113(524), 1541–1549.

By: Y. Zhang*, E. Laber n, M. Davidian n  & A. Tsiatis n

author keywords: Decision lists; Interpretability; Precision medicine; Research-practice gap; Treatment regimes; Tree-based methods
TL;DR: An estimator of an optimal treatment regime composed of a sequence of decision rules, each expressible as a list of “if-then” statements that can be presented as either a paragraph or as a simple flowchart that is immediately interpretable to domain experts is proposed.

Using Decision Lists to Construct Interpretable and Parsimonious Treatment Regimes

BIOMETRICS, 71(4), 895–904.

By: Y. Zhang n, E. Laber n, A. Tsiatis n & M. Davidian n 

author keywords: Decision lists; Exploratory analyses; Interpretability; Personalized medicine; Treatment regimes
MeSH headings : Biometry / methods; Breast Neoplasms / drug therapy; Clinical Protocols; Clinical Trials as Topic / statistics & numerical data; Computer Simulation; Decision Trees; Depression / therapy; Evidence-Based Medicine / statistics & numerical data; Female; Humans; Models, Statistical; Precision Medicine / statistics & numerical data
TL;DR: A simple, yet flexible class of treatment regimes whose members are representable as a short list of if–then statements are proposed, which are immediately interpretable and are therefore an appealing choice for broad application in practice. (via Semantic Scholar)
