Safe and Interpretable Estimation of Optimal Treatment Regimes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Recent statistical and reinforcement learning methods have significantly advanced patient care strategies. However, these approaches face substantial challenges in high-stakes contexts, including missing data, inherent stochasticity, and the critical requirements for interpretability and patient safety. Our work operationalizes a safe and interpretable
