Accurate prediction of individual medical outcomes is essential for optimizing treatment allocation amid rising costs, coverage denials, and limited clinical resources. Traditional predictive models, including regression and neural networks, rely on average effects and cannot tailor predictions to the specific circumstances of individual cases. We present relevance-based prediction (RBP), a model-free method that predicts outcomes as weighted averages of observed cases, with weights determined by a rigorously defined measure of relevance. Unlike model-based methods that rely on fixed calibrated parameters, RBP revisits the original data for each prediction and customizes both the cases and variables used. Applied to opioid treatment, RBP provides case-specific insights unavailable from conventional models, including how each prior case informs a prediction, how each variable affects its reliability and value, and how reliable the prediction is before it is made. These individualized insights may prevent misleading average-based decisions and reduce harmful or suboptimal treatment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
