Heterogeneous readmission prediction with hierarchical effect decomposition and regularization
Ziren Jiang, Lingfeng Huo, Jue Hou +3
Accurately predicting hospital readmission risks using electronic health records (EHRs) is critical for effective patient management and healthcare resource allocation. Patient pop…
Estimating causal effects of functional treatments with modified functional treatment policies
Ziren Jiang, Erjia Cui, Jared D. Huling
Functional data are increasingly prevalent in biomedical research. While functional data analysis has been established for decades, causal inference with functional treatments rema…
Exploring the effects of mechanical ventilator settings with modified vector-valued treatment policies
Ziren Jiang, Philip S. Crooke, John J. Marini +1
Mechanical ventilation is critical for managing respiratory failure, but inappropriate ventilator settings can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), increasing patient mor…
Modified treatment policy effect estimation with weighted energy distance
Ziren Jiang, Jared D. Huling
The causal effects of continuous treatments are often characterized through the average dose response function, which is challenging to estimate from observational data due to conf…
