A flexible adaptive lasso Cox frailty model based on the full likelihood
arxiv(2020)
摘要
In this work a method to regularize Cox frailty models is proposed that accommodates time-varying covariates and time-varying coefficients and is based on the full instead of the partial likelihood. A particular advantage in this framework is that the baseline hazard can be explicitly modeled in a smooth, semi-parametric way, e.g. via P-splines. Regularization for variable selection is performed via a lasso penalty and via group lasso for categorical variables while a second penalty regularizes wiggliness of smooth estimates of time-varying coefficients and the baseline hazard. Additionally, adaptive weights are included to stabilize the estimation. The method is implemented in R as coxlasso and will be compared to other packages for regularized Cox regression. Existing packages, however, do not allow for the combination of different effects that are accommodated in coxlasso.
