Multicategory Matched Learning for Estimating Optimal Individualized Treatment Rules in Observational Studies with Application to a Hepatocellular Carcinoma Study [PDF]
One primary goal of precision medicine is to estimate the individualized treatment rules (ITRs) that optimize patients' health outcomes based on individual characteristics. Health studies with multiple treatments are commonly seen in practice. However, most existing ITR estimation methods were developed for the studies with binary treatments.
