Type: article
Abstract: proposed estimators, and its finite sample performance through simulation and real data analysis. In the third project, we consider a more general class of candidate regimes through flexible models of the outcomes. We propose to use Random Survival Forest plus an inverse probability weighted bootstrap to estimate the causal outcome while marginalizing over the unavailable covariates. By comparing the restricted mean survival times, the optimal regime can be estimated for the target population. The performance of the proposed method is assessed through simulation studies.
