LIB_COXaic {survivalSL} | R Documentation |
Library of the Super Learner for a Cox Model with Selected Covariates
Description
Fit a Cox regression for a selection of covariate.
Usage
LIB_COXaic(formula, data, penalty=NULL)
Arguments
formula |
A formula object, with the response on the left of a ~ operator, and the predictoes on the right. The response must be a survival object as returned by the |
data |
A data frame whose columns correspond to the variables present in the formula. |
penalty |
A numerical vector with a length equals to the number of predictors. It allows the integration of covariates into the final model, i.e. with no selection: the value 0 to force the covariate in the model, 1 otherwise. If |
Value
formula |
The formula object used for model construction. |
model |
The estimated model. |
data |
The data frame used for learning. |
times |
A vector of numeric values with the times of the |
predictions |
A matrix with the predictions of survivals of each subject (lines) for each observed time (columns). |
