Regularization Paths for Cox's Proportional Hazards Model via Coordinate Descent.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a pathwise algorithm for the Cox proportional hazards model, regularized by convex combinations of ℓ1 and ℓ2 penalties (elastic net). Our algorithm fits via cyclical coordinate descent, and employs warm starts to find a solution along a regularization path. We demonstrate the efficacy of our algorithm on real and simulated data sets, and find considerable speedup between our algorithm and competing methods.

A cocktail algorithm for solving the elastic net penalized Cox's regression in high dimensions
We introduce a cocktail algorithm, a good mixture of coordinate decent, the majorization-minimization principle and the strong rule, for computing the solution paths of the elastic net penalized Cox’s proportional hazards model. The cocktail algorithm enjoys a proven convergence property. We have implemented the cocktail algorithm in an R package fastcox. Numerical examples show that cocktail i...
متن کاملRegularization for Cox's Proportional Hazards Model with Np-dimensionality.
High throughput genetic sequencing arrays with thousands of measurements per sample and a great amount of related censored clinical data have increased demanding need for better measurement specific model selection. In this paper we establish strong oracle properties of non-concave penalized methods for non-polynomial (NP) dimensional data with censoring in the framework of Cox's proportional h...
متن کاملNovel Harmonic Regularization Approach for Variable Selection in Cox's Proportional Hazards Model
Variable selection is an important issue in regression and a number of variable selection methods have been proposed involving nonconvex penalty functions. In this paper, we investigate a novel harmonic regularization method, which can approximate nonconvex Lq (1/2 < q < 1) regularizations, to select key risk factors in the Cox's proportional hazards model using microarray gene expression data...
متن کاملSheppard's correction for grouping in Cox's proportional hazards model
Cox's proportional hazards model is often t to grouped survival data, i.e. occurrence/exposure data over given time intervals and covariate strata. We derive a Sheppard correction for the bias in the grouped data analogue of Cox's maximum partial likelihood estimator. This is done via a large sample theory in which the covariate strata and time intervals shrink as the sample size increases.
متن کاملPenalized Bregman Divergence Estimation via Coordinate Descent
Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...
