Optimal Prescriptive Trees

Motivated by personalized decision making, given observational data {(xᵢ,yᵢ,zᵢ)}ⁿᵢ=1 involving features xᵢ∊ℝᵈ, assigned treatments or prescriptions zᵢ∊{1,...,𝑚}, and outcomes yᵢ∊ℝ, we propose a tree-based algorithm called optimal prescriptive tree (OPT) that uses either constant or linear models in...
