Abstract
Combination therapies are automatically discovered that provide statistically significantly greater protection against a specific outcome, compared to therapies with fewer treatments. A dataset is received that associates each of a plurality of respective individual treatments with a corresponding outcome and a corresponding set of confounding factors. A plurality of new potential combination therapies are combined iteratively. The received dataset is used to automatically identify at least one candidate combination therapy of the new potential combination therapies that provides a statistically significantly greater protection against an outcome with reference to each of the plurality of respective individual treatments.
