Query: Learning Individualized Treatment Rules with Estimated Translated
  Inverse Propensity Score   Randomized controlled trials typically analyze the effectiveness of
treatments with the goal of making treatment recommendations for patient
subgroups. With the advance of electronic health records, a great variety of
data has been collected in clinical practice, enabling the evaluation of
treatments and treatment policies based on observational data. In this paper,
we focus on learning individualized treatment rules (ITRs) to derive a
treatment policy that is expected to generate a better outcome for an
individual patient. In our framework, we cast ITRs learning as a contextual
bandit problem and minimize the expected risk of the treatment policy. We
conduct experiments with the proposed framework both in a simulation study and
based on a real-world dataset. In the latter case, we apply our proposed method
to learn the optimal ITRs for the administration of intravenous (IV) fluids and
vasopressors (VP). Based on various offline evaluation methods, we could show
that the policy derived in our framework demonstrates better performance
compared to both the physicians and other baselines, including a simple
treatment prediction approach. As a long-term goal, our derived policy might
eventually lead to better clinical guidelines for the administration of IV and
VP.
