• Authors: Peter Chang, Arkaprava Roy
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel non-parametric treatment effect estimation method in a multi-treatment setting. Our model relies on radial basis function (RBF)-nets with shared hidden neurons. Applying our proposed method to MIMIC data, we obtain several interesting findings related to the impact of different treatment strategies on the length of ICU stay and 12-hour SOFA score for sepsis patients who are home-discharged.

• Abstract: Heterogeneous treatment effect estimation is an important problem in precision medicine. Specific interests lie in identifying the differential effect of different treatments based on some external covariates. We propose a novel non-parametric treatment effect estimation method in a multi-treatment setting. Our non-parametric modeling of the response curves relies on radial basis function (RBF)-nets with shared hidden neurons. Our model thus facilitates modeling commonality among the treatment outcomes. The estimation and inference schemes are developed under a Bayesian framework and implemented via an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, appropriately accommodating uncertainty in all aspects of the analysis. The numerical performance of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments. Applying our proposed method to MIMIC data, we obtain several interesting findings related to the impact of different treatment strategies on the length of ICU stay and 12-hour SOFA score for sepsis patients who are home-discharged.

  We propose a comprehensive framework of temporal counterfactual forecasting from an individual multiple treatment perspective (TCFimt) TCFimt constructs adversarial tasks in a seq2seq framework to alleviate selection and time-varying bias and designs a contrastive learning-based block to decouple a mixed treatment effect into separated main treatment effects and causal interactions. The proposed method shows satisfactory performance in predicting future outcomes with specific treatments and in choosing optimal treatment type and timing than state-of-the-art methods.
