Co-Supervised Tree Synthesis for Interpretable Subgroup Identification and Honest Treatment Effect Inference in Randomized Trials
共同监督树合成:随机试验中的可解释亚组识别与诚实处理效应推断
Identifying patient subgroups with heterogeneous treatment effects is central to precision medicine, yet existing approaches face a tension. Black-box methods estimate individualized effects well but yield no interpretable subgroups, while tree-based methods produce explicit partitions but are unstable and less accurate in moderate-sample trials. We propose CausalSynthTree, a co-supervised method in which black-box causal estimators guide construction of an interpretable…
