Dynamic Treatment Regimes

Are you interested in precision medicine and discovering treatment options that are tailored to individual patient characteristics? Look no further - Dynamic Treatment Regimes: Statistical Methods for Precision Medicine is the comprehensive guide you've been waiting for. Whether you're a researcher or a graduate student in statistics or data science, this book will equip you with the necessary tools to evaluate and discover dynamic treatment regimes from data.

With a background in probability and statistical inference, you'll dive into popular statistical modeling techniques that will enable you to make evidence-based decisions in the field of precision medicine. A dynamic treatment regime consists of sequential decision rules that guide clinicians in selecting the most suitable treatment option for each patient. By synthesizing patient information and considering key decision points in disease processes, treatment regimes ensure personalized care.

Precision medicine demands the estimation of optimal treatment regimes, ones that lead to the most beneficial outcomes for the patient population. In Dynamic Treatment Regimes, you'll explore key methods for estimating these optimal regimes from data. The authors provide detailed explanations and motivation for each method, empowering you to apply them effectively.
