A Causal Inference Approach for Evaluating Diagnostic Tests and AI-Enabled Medical Devices: From Effect Modification to Information-Augmented Decision-Making

Wenxin Zhang, Rachael Phillips, Mark van der Laan

Diagnostic medical tests and devices provide useful information for evaluating the potential benefits and risks of therapeutic treatments. However, unlike treatments, their impact…

Hazard-Based Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Survival in Resampling Designs

Kirsten E. Landsiedel, Rachael V. Phillips, Maya L. Petersen +1

Survival is a key metric for evaluating standards of care for people living with HIV. In resource-limited settings, high rates of loss to follow-up (LTFU) often result in underesti…
