ABtree: An Algorithm for Subgroup-Based Treatment Assignment
Given two possible treatments, there may exist subgroups who benefit greater from one treatment than the other. This problem is relevant to the field of marketing, where treatments may correspond to different ways of selling a product. It is similarly relevant to the field of public policy, where treatments may correspond to specific government programs. And finally, personalized medicine is a field wholly devoted to understanding which subgroups of individuals will benefit from particular medical treatments. We present a computationally fast tree-based method, ABtree, for treatment effect differentiation. Unlike other methods, ABtree specifically produces decision rules for optimal treatment assignment on a per-individual basis. The treatment choices are selected for maximizing the overall occurrence of a desired binary outcome, conditional on a set of covariates. In this poster, we present the methodology on tree growth and pruning, and show performance results when applied to simulated data as well as real data.

Tree-based Subgroup Discovery In Electronic Health Records: Heterogeneity of Treatment Effects for DTG-containing Therapies
The rich longitudinal individual level data available from electronic health records (EHRs) can be used to examine treatment effect heterogeneity. However, estimating treatment effects using EHR data poses several challe…
Subgroup DiscoveryFinding Subgroups with Significant Treatment Effects
Researchers often run resource-intensive randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to estimate the causal effects of interventions on outcomes of interest. Yet these outcomes are often noisy, and estimated overall effects can …
Fit CATE Once: Model-Assisted Randomization Tests Without Sample Splitting
Randomization tests and flexible treatment-effect models offer complementary strengths for analyzing data from randomized panel experiments: the former provide valid inference under the known assignment mechanism, while …
A Nonparametric Test of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects under Interference
Statistical inference of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTEs) across predefined subgroups is challenging when units interact because treatment effects may vary by pre-treatment variables, post-treatment exposure variab…
TabTreeFormer: Tabular Data Generation Using Hybrid Tree-Transformer
Transformers have shown impressive results in tabular data generation. However, they lack domain-specific inductive biases which are critical for preserving the intrinsic characteristics of tabular data. They also suffer…
