| Research Interests: |
|
My primary research interest is in the area of medical decision making, sometimes dynamic treatment regimes or adaptive treatment strategies. A dynamic treatment regime is a sequence of decision rules that specify how the intensity or type of treatment should change depending on patient variables. These patient variables may include patient response, risk, burden, adherence and preference, collected during prior therapy. The goal of dynamic treatment regimes is to provide treatments that result in optimal clinical outcomes. I’m particularly interested in developing feature selection / model selection methods that can be used in the construction of dynamic treatment regimes from clinical trial data.
|
| Current Projects and Collaborators: |
|
I work as a research assistant of Dr. Susan Murphy on the NIDA project titled, "Methodology for Developing Adaptive Interventions". I’m working on feature selection / model selection methods that can be used in the construction of dynamic treatment regimes. The goal of these model selection methods is to allow us to consider many models rather than only a few in building the dynamic treatment regimes.
