A new research paper published on arXiv investigates the effectiveness of covariate balance diagnostics in long time horizon Markov decision processes, particularly within the context of offline reinforcement learning for treatment recommendations. The study suggests that current offline RL studies may carry a high risk of bias or that existing balance metrics are insufficient for robust assessment. The authors propose further research to develop more methodologically sound applications of offline RL in this domain. AI
