Abstract
Computer implemented methods, systems, and computer readable medium are provided for performing causal inference analyses to determine the more effective treatment among alternative treatments in the healthcare setting using real world observational data. Both binary treatment and adaptive treatment strategies are considered in the analysis. The methods comprise generating a Bayesian marginal structural model and performing a single step of Bayesian regression that incorporates matching, weighting, and estimation processes and in which the matching process is performed using a Guassian process ('GP') prior covariance function.
