Inspired by a growing interest in applying reinforcement learning (RL) to healthcare, we introduce a procedure for performing qualitative introspection and `debugging' of models and policies. In particular, we make use of counterfactual trajectories, which describe the implicit belief (of a model) of 'what would have happened' if a policy had been applied. These serve to decompose model-based estimates of reward into specific claims about specific trajectories, a useful tool for 'debugging' of models and policies, especially when side information is available for domain experts to review alongside the counterfactual claims. More specically, we give a general procedure (using structural causal models) to generate counterfactuals based on an existing model of the environment, including common models used in model-based RL. We apply our procedure to a pair of synthetic applications to build intuition, and conclude with an application on real healthcare data, introspecting a policy for sepsis management learned in the recently published work of Komorowski et al. (2018).

D'aquesta manera, instal·lant els sensors apropiats s'obtenen millors diagnosticador i més facilitats d'implementació. El treball està basat en models estructurals i contempla una sèrie de simplificacions per tal de entrar-se només en la problemàtica de la localització de sensors. S'utilitzen diversos enfocs per tal de resoldre la localització de sensors, tot ells tenen com objectiu trobar la configuració òptima de sensors. Les tècniques de localització de sensors són aplicades a un sistema basat en una pila de combustible. El model d'aquest sistema està format per equacions no lineals. A més, hi ha la possibilitat d'instal·lar fins a 30 sensors per tal de millorar la diagnosis del sistema. Degut a aquestes característiques del sistema i del model, els resultats obtinguts mitjançant aquest cas d'estudi reafirmen l'aplicabilitat dels mètodes proposats.

Full textThis thesis studies the causes and consequences of the residential segregation process in the post-Apartheid South Africa.Inside this general issue, we are interested in several aspects still debated in the literature on residential segregation. Thefirst concerns the impact of individuals’ preferences for the racial composition of their neighborhood on the segregationlevels. The second question deals with the impact of residential segregation on the income levels of each racial group. Thelast issue is related to quantifying the different causes of segregation.Three chapters constitute this thesis. In the first chapter, we reconcile the theoretical literature on the impact of preferencesfor the racial composition of the neighborhood with the empirical evidences of declining levels of segregation in theUnited-States and South Africa. We argue that if individuals internalize the economic and social life that a new entrantbrings with him, then integrated neighborhoods can emerge. This effect is empirically stronger than homophilly andracism. In the second chapter, we study the impact of residential segregation on the whole income distribution. We showthat residential segregation has a positif effect on top incomes for Whites, whereas it has a negatif effect for Blacks at thebottom of the distribution. The effect of residential segregation is even more important than the effect of education inmost cases. In the third chapter, we quantify the impact of each determinant of segregation. We find that the lackof access to basic public services is the main determinant, whereas differences in sociodemographics only account for asmall part in the most segregated areas

Full textCandida species are among the main pathogens isolated from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and are responsible for a serious systemic infection: invasive candidiasis. A late and unreliable diagnosis of invasive candidiasis aggravates the patient's status and increases the risk of short-term death. The current guidelines recommend an early treatment of patients with high risks of invasive candidiasis, even in absence of documented fungal infection. However, increased antifungal drug consumption is correlated with increased costs and the emergence of drug resistance whereas there is yet no consensus about the benefits of the probabilistic antifungal treatment.The present work used modern statistical methods on longitudinal observational data. It investigated the impact of systemic antifungal treatment (SAT) on the distribution of the four Candida species most frequently isolated from ICU patients', their susceptibilities to SATs, the diagnosis of candidemia, and the prognosis of ICU patients. The use of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models for time series confirmed the negative impact of SAT use on the susceptibilities of the four Candida species and on their relative distribution over a ten-year period. Hierarchical models for repeated measures showed that SAT has a negative impact on the diagnosis of candidemia: it decreases the rate of positive blood cultures and increases the time to positivity of these cultures. Finally, the use of causal inference models showed that early SAT has no impact on non-neutropenic, non-transplanted patient prognosis and that SAT de-escalation within 5 days after its initiation in critically ill patients is safe and does not influence the prognosis

Full textBackground: Lung cancer (LC) continues to be the most common cancer death in the world. Tobacco exposure continues to be the most important cause. In addition, micronutrient intake has been linked to LC, because they are the main source of vitamins and amino acids involved in the one-carbon metabolism (OCM) which is considered key in maintaining DNA integrity, regulating gene expression, and may thus affect carcinogenesis. Immune activation is involved in the aging process in normal healthy individuals as well as in a number of pathologies, including cancer. Objectives: To investigate how OCM, immune activation and tobacco are related to LC incidence in a nested case-control study from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Methods: To validate plasma cotinine levels as a good biomarker for tobacco exposure, a generalized linear model was applied. To evaluate the effects of tobacco, OCM and immune activation in LC, structural equation models (SEM) were applied in two different ways. Results: Based on questions about smoking, passive smoking and number of cigarettes smoked, it was shown that cotinine is a good biomarker for tobacco exposure (passive and active exposure with significant relation, p<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). In a SEM model with only observed variables, including OCM and immune activation, methionine and folate as proximal causes presented a strong and inverse relation with LC risk. An increase in one standard deviation of serum levels of methionine and folate meant a 19 per cent (P<0.01) and 12 per cent (P<0.01) reduction in LC risk, respectively. In a SEM including latent variables (each one including vitamins and amino acids important to promote DNA methylation, nucleotide synthesis and immune activity), a direct and protective effect for DNA methylation (p=0.018) and immune activation was found (p=0.037), whereas nucleotide synthesis did not present a significant total effect. In both approaches of SEM, tobacco exposure remains with the highest impact on LC risk. Conclusions: It was found that cotinine is a good biomarker of tobacco exposure (active and passive). It was confirmed that methylation protects against LC. Immune activation presented a direct protective effect in the latent model, while nucleotide synthesis was not confirmed to be related to LC risk. Tobacco effect remains as the factor with highest impact in lung cancer
