| contents | Optimal individualized treatment decision-making has improved health outcomes in recent years. The value function is commonly used to evaluate the goodness of an individualized treatment decision rule. Despite recent advances, comparing value functions between different treatment decision rules or constructing confidence intervals around value functions remains difficult. We propose a t-test based method applied to a test set that generates valid p-values to compare value functions between a given pair of treatment decision rules when some of the data are missing. We demonstrate the ease in use of this method and evaluate its performance via simulation studies and apply it to the China Health and Nutrition Survey data. |
