A MULTIAGENT REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR OFF-POLICY EVALUATION IN TWO-SIDED MARKETS
ANNALS OF APPLIED STATISTICS, 17(4), 2701–2722.
author keywords: Multiagent system; reinforcement learning; spatiotemporal studies; policy evaluation
TL;DR:
This paper considers large-scale fleet management in ride-sharing companies that involve multiple units in different areas receiving sequences of products (or treatments) over time and proposes novel estimators for mean outcomes under different products that are consistent despite the high-dimensionality of state-action space.

Evaluation of the US COVID-19 Scenario Modeling Hub for informing pandemic response under uncertainty
NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 14(1).
TL;DR:
Scenarios remained close to reality for 22 weeks on average before the arrival of unanticipated SARS-CoV-2 variants invalidated key assumptions, and an ensemble of participating models that preserved variation between models was consistently more reliable than any single model in periods of valid scenario assumptions, while projection interval coverage was near target levels.

Quantifying association and disparities between diabetes complications and COVID-19 outcomes: A retrospective study using electronic health records
PLOS ONE, 18(9).
TL;DR:
The presence of diabetes complications increases the risks of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and worse health outcomes with respect to in-hospital mortality and longer hospital length of stay, and health disparities in CO VID-19 outcomes across demographic groups in the diabetes population are shown.

Estimation of Parameter Distributions for Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Competition using Aggregate Spatiotemporal Data
BULLETIN OF MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY, 85(7).
author keywords: Glioblastoma multiforme; Random differential equation; Parameter estimation; k-Means clustering
MeSH headings : Humans; Mathematical Concepts; Models, Biological; Brain Neoplasms; Glioblastoma
TL;DR:
This work uses Prokhorov metric framework and converts the reaction-diffusion model to a random differential equation model to estimate joint distributions of diffusion and growth rates among heterogeneous subpopulations and finds that therandom differential equation is more capable at predicting the cell density compared to other models while being more time efficient.

Deep spectral Q-learning with application to mobile health
STAT, 12(1).
author keywords: dynamic treatment regimes; mixed frequency data; principal component analysis; reinforcement learning
TL;DR:
A deep spectral Q‐learning algorithm is proposed, which integrates principal component analysis (PCA) with deep Q‐learning to handle the mixed frequency data and proves that the mean return under the estimated optimal policy converges to that under the optimal one and establishes its rate of convergence.
