fastpolicytree: Constructs Policy Trees from Covariate and Reward Data

Constructs optimal policy trees which provide a rule-based treatment prescription policy. Input is covariate and reward data, where, typically, the rewards will be doubly robust reward estimates. This package aims to construct optimal policy trees more quickly than the existing 'policytree' package and is intended to be used alongside that package. For more details see Cussens, Hatamyar, Shah and Kreif (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2506.15435>.
