Variable selection in discrete survival models including heterogeneity.
Several variable selection procedures are available for continuous time-to-event data. However, if time is measured in a discrete way and therefore many ties occur models for continuous time are inadequate. We propose penalized likelihood methods that perform efficient variable selection in discrete survival modeling with explicit modeling of the heterogeneity in the population. The method is b...
متن کاملGeneralized Additive Models with Unknown Link Function Including Variable Selection
The generalized additive model is a well established and strong tool that allows to model smooth effects of predictors on the response. However, if the link function, which is typically chosen as the canonical link, is misspecified, substantial bias is to be expected. A procedure is proposed that simultaneously estimates the form of the link function and the unknown form of the predictor functi...
متن کاملBinary and Ordinal Random Effects Models Including Variable Selection
A likelihood-based boosting approach for the fitting of binary and ordinal mixed models is presented. In contrast to common procedures it can be used in high-dimensional settings where a large number of potentially influential explanatory variables is available. Constructed as a componentwise boosting method it is able to perform variable selection with the complexity of the resulting estimator...
متن کاملVariable Selection and Model Choice in Structured Survival Models
In many situations, medical applications ask for flexible survival models that allow to extend the classical Cox-model via the inclusion of time-varying and nonparametric effects. These structured survival models are very flexible but additional difficulties arise when model choice and variable selection is desired. In particular, it has to be decided which covariates should be assigned timevar...
متن کاملModels of natural mutations including site heterogeneity.
New computational models of natural site mutations are developed that account for the different selective pressures acting on different locations in the protein. The number of adjustable parameters is greatly reduced by basing the models on the underlying physical-chemical properties of the amino acids. This allows us to use our method on small data sets built of specific protein types. We demo...
