2016 journal article
On estimation of optimal treatment regimes for maximizing t -year survival probability

author keywords: Inverse probability weighted estimation; Kaplan-Meier estimator; Optimal treatment regime; Personalized medicine; Survival probability; Value function
TL;DR:
This work proposes two non‐parametric estimators for the survival function of patients following a given treatment regime involving one or more decisions, i.e. the so‐called value, and introduces kernel smoothing within the estimator to improve performance.

Concordance-assisted learning for estimating optimal individualized treatment regimes
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B (Statistical Methodology), 79(5), 1565–1582.
author keywords: D-optimality; D-s-optimality; Group testing; Sensitivity; Specificity
TL;DR:
A type of concordance function for prescribing treatment is introduced and a robust rank regression method for estimating the concordances function is proposed and a doubly robust estimator of parameters in the prescriptive index is developed under a class of monotonic index models.

Comment
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 111(515), 942–947.
author keywords: Dynamic treatment regimes; Multi-stage chemotherapy regimes; O-learning; Q-learning
TL;DR:
Two alternative methods, Q-learning and O-learning, are discussed to solve the same problem from the machine learning point of view and show that these methods can be flexible and have advantages in some situations to handle treatment heterogeneity while being robust to model misspecification.

Coverage, survivability or response time: A comparative study of performance statistics used in ambulance location models via simulation–optimization
Operations Research for Health Care, 11, 1–12.
author keywords: Ambulance location; Covering models; Survivability; Simulation; Metaheuristics
TL;DR:
This paper compares the performance of three recent ambulance location model objectives by applying a simulation–optimization framework and shows that the maximum survivability objective performs better in both survivability and coverage metrics.

Robust learning for optimal treatment decision with NP-dimensionality
ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF STATISTICS, 10(2), 2894–2921.
author keywords: Non-concave penalized likelihood; optimal treatment strategy; oracle property; variable selection
TL;DR:
A robust procedure for estimating the optimal treatment regime under NP dimensionality is proposed and penalized regressions are employed with the non-concave penalty function, where the conditional mean model of the response given predictors may be misspecified.

SEQUENTIAL ADVANTAGE SELECTION FOR OPTIMAL TREATMENT REGIME
ANNALS OF APPLIED STATISTICS, 10(1), 32–53.
author keywords: Optimal treatment regime; qualitative interaction; sequential advantage; variable selection
TL;DR:
A sequential advantage selection method based on the modified S-score that selects qualitatively interacted variables sequentially, and hence excludes marginally important but jointly unimportant variables or vice versa, and can handle a large amount of covariates even if sample size is small.
