Special Topics.Section 001 — MULTI-STAGE DECISION PROBLEMS IN ADAPTIVE TREATMENT STRATEGIES.Instructor(s): Susan A Murphy (samurphy@umich.edu)Prerequisites: Graduate standing and permission of instructor. (3). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (3). Course Homepage: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~samurphy/classes.html What do Adaptive Treatment Strategies, Partially Observed Markov Decision Processes, Markov Decision Processes, Reinforcement Learning, Model Predictive Control and Medical Decision Making have in common? These are all multi-stage decision problems! Adaptive treatment strategies are individually tailored treatments for chronic, relapsing disorders. In adaptive treatment strategies, we tailored the treatment level and type through time to the individual. That is we use decision rules that assign treatment based on evolving individual information; our goal is to make these decisions so as to maximize individual response. In this course we survey the variety of methods listed above, many of which have been developed by other fields. In particular we focus on data driven methods for estimating the best treatment decision rules. The estimation of best treatment decision rules from data is an area of causal inference. GOAL: Explore how we can use social science and biological/medical data to estimate optimal decision rules.
