New R package aids personalized medicine by estimating treatment effects in complex risk scenarios

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new R package called `crsurvlearners` to help estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) in competing risks settings. This is particularly useful in personalized medicine where understanding treatment effectiveness for a specific event, while accounting for other potential events, is crucial. The package systematically compares six meta-learners that combine different risk modeling and direct CATE modeling approaches, evaluating their performance across various simulation settings to guide model selection.

    A Guide to Estimating Conditional Average Treatment Effects in Competing Risks Settings

    arXiv:2606.18281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) are central to treatment decision-making in personalized medicine. In competing risks settings, estimating CATEs from survival data allows for patient-specific assessments of treatment…
