Improved bounds and inference on optimal regimes
最优治疗策略的改进界限与推断
Point identification of causal effects requires strong assumptions that are unreasonable in many practical settings. However, informative bounds on these effects can often be derived under plausible assumptions. Even when these bounds are wide or cover null effects, they can guide practical decisions based on formal decision theoretic criteria. Here we derive new results on optimal treatment regimes in settings where the effect of interest is bounded. These results are…
