Estimating Effects of Longitudinal Modified Treatment Policies (LMTPs) on Rates of Change in Health Outcomes
纵向修正治疗政策对健康结局变化率的效应估计
Longitudinal data often contains outcomes measured at multiple visits, and scientific interest may lie in quantifying the effect of an intervention on an outcome's rate of change. For example, one may wish to study the progression (or trajectory) of a disease over time under different hypothetical interventions. We extend the longitudinal modified treatment policy (LMTP) methodology to estimate effects of complex, exposure-dependent interventions on rates of change in an…
