Abstract

The present work presents a statistically sound, rigorous, and model-free algorithm for use in personalized medicine. The algorithm is designed first to learn from a set of clinical data with relevant predictors and predictands, and then to assist a clinician in the assessment of prognosis & treatment for new patients. It allows the clinician to input, for each new patient, additional patient-dependent clinical information, as well as patient-dependent information about benefits and drawbacks of available treatments. For this reason we call it an "optimal predictor machine". We apply this machine in a realistic setting for clinical decision-making, incorporating clinical, environmental, imaging, and genetic data, using a data set of subjects suffering from mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease. We show how the algorithm is theoretically optimal, and discuss some of its major advantages for decision-making under risk, resource planning, imputation of missing values, assessing the prognostic importance of each predictor, and further uses.
