Targeted Learning pdf
Description

Establishes causal inference methodology that incorporates the benefits of machine learning with statistical inferencePresentation combines accessibility with the method's rigorous grounding in statistical theoryDemonstrates targeted learning in epidemiological, medical, and genomic experimental and observational studies that include informative dropout, missingness, time-dependent confounding, and case-control sampling The statistics profession is at a unique point in history. The need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever; data sets are massive, often measuring hundreds of thousands of measurements for a single subject. The field is ready to move towards clear objective benchmarks under which tools can be evaluated. Targeted learning allows (1) the full generalization and utilization of cross-validation as an estimator selection tool so that the subjective choices made by humans are now made by the machine, and (2) targeting the fitting of the probability Download Targeted Learning for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
