Personalised Decision-Making without Counterfactuals

arXiv:2301.11976

Abstract

This article is a response to recent proposals by Pearl and others for a new approach to personalised treatment decisions, in contrast to the traditional one based on statistical decision theory. We argue that this approach is dangerously misguided and should not be used in practice.
