On Optimal Treatment Regimes Assisted by Algorithms
Mats Julius Stensrud, Chair of Biostatistics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne
Decision makers desire to implement decision rules that, when applied to individuals in the population of interest, yield the best possible outcomes. For example, the current focus on precision medicine reflects the search for individualized treatment decisions, adapted to a patient’s characteristics. In this presentation, the speaker will consider …

Assumption-Lean (Causal) Modeling
Stijn Vansteelandt, Ghent University
Traditional inference in (semi-)parametric models, such as generalized linear models, typically assumes that the model is correctly specified and pre-determined. However, this approach is increasingly unsatisfactory because models are often selected adaptively based on the data, introducing unacknowledged uncertainty. Moreover, these models rarely …

Lunch Talk: Machine Learning Based Time-to-Event Analysis
With MCML Members Andreas Bender and Stefan Feuerriegel
In many applications the time until an event of interest occurs is an important endpoint. Due to the way such data is collected, however, the outcome of interest can often be observed only partially. Time-to-event analysis (also known as survival analysis) provides techniques to deal with such data. In this talk, we will discuss use-cases, …

How Game-Theoretic Probability Makes Sense of Cournot's Principle
Glenn Shafer, Rutgers University
Sufficiently high probability is practical certainty. This maxim, now called Cournot’s principle, was repeated by scholars for centuries before Jacob Bernoulli made probability numerical, and it has been essential to statistical inference ever since. Cournot taught us that it is the only way probability theory makes contact with phenomena. We test …
