- One primary goal of precision medicine is to estimate the individualized treatment rules (ITRs) that optimize patients' health outcomes based on individual characteristics. Health studies with multiple treatments are commonly seen in practice. However, most existing ITR estimation methods were developed for the studies with binary treatments. Many require that the outcomes are fully observed. In this paper, we propose a matching-based machine learning method to estimate the optimal ITRs in observational studies with multiple treatments when the outcomes are fully observed or right-censored. We establish theoretical property for the proposed method. It is compared with the existing competitive methods in simulation studies and a hepatocellular carcinoma study.
