Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Estimating the conditional mean and standard deviation of the predicted outcome.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement about releasing source code for the methodology or provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The data used for the study come from a large academic hospital system handling more than 1 million patient visits per year and consist of Electronic Health Records (EHR) containing the patients medical history in the period 1999 2014.
Dataset Splits Yes Within each prescription group, we randomly split the patient visits into three sets: a training set (80%), a validation set (10%), and a test set (10%).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper discusses various models (DRLR+K-NN, LASSO, CART, OLS+K-NN) but does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes The parameter ϵ in the threshold T(x) is set to 0.1.
