A prevalent feature of high-dimensional data is the dependence among covariates, and model selection is known to be challenging when covariates are highly correlated. To perform model selection for the high-dimensional Cox proportional…

We propose a new approach to safe variable preselection in high-dimensional penalized regression, such as the lasso. Preselection - to start with a manageable set of covariates - has often been implemented without clear appreciation of its…

Sparse modelling or model selection with categorical data is challenging even for a moderate number of variables, because one parameter is roughly needed to encode one category or level. The Group Lasso is a well known efficient algorithm…

Causal variable selection in time-varying treatment settings is challenging due to evolving confounding effects. Existing methods mainly focus on time-fixed exposures and are not directly applicable to time-varying scenarios. We propose a…

In this study, we address the challenge of survival analysis within heterogeneous patient populations, where traditional reliance on a single regression model such as the Cox proportional hazards (Cox PH) model often falls short.…

Data irregularity in cancer genomics studies has been widely observed in the form of outliers and heavy-tailed distributions in the complex traits. In the past decade, robust variable selection methods have emerged as powerful alternatives…

Traditional survival analysis techniques focus on the occurrence of failures over the time. During analysis of such events, ignoring the related unobserved covariates or heterogeneity involved in data sample may leads us to adverse…

The Temporal Group LASSO is an example of a multi-task, regularized regression approach for the prediction of response variables that vary over time. The aim of this work is to introduce the reader to the concepts behind the Temporal Group…

The Cox regression models and their Bayesian extensions are widely used for time-to-event analysis. However, standard Bayesian approaches typically require baseline hazard modeling, and their full conditional distributions lack closed-form…

We revisit Cox's proportional hazard models and LASSO in the aim of improving feature selection in survival analysis. Unlike traditional methods relying on cross-validation or BIC, the penalty parameter $\lambda$ is directly tuned for…

Survival analysis is a challenging variation of regression modeling because of the presence of censoring, where the outcome measurement is only partially known, due to, for example, loss to follow up. Such problems come up frequently in…

Consider the normal linear regression setup when the number of covariates p is much larger than the sample size n, and the covariates form correlated groups. The response variable y is not related to an entire group of covariates in all or…

Health economic evaluations often require predictions of survival rates beyond the follow-up period. Parametric survival models can be more convenient for economic modelling than the Cox model. The generalized gamma (GG) and generalized F…

Many data sets consist of variables with an inherent group structure. The problem of group selection has been well studied, but in this paper, we seek to do the opposite: our goal is to select at least one variable from each group in the…

Prevalent cohort sampling is commonly used to study the natural history of a disease when the disease is rare or it usually takes a long time to observe the failure event. It is known, however, that the collected sample in this situation is…

This study develops a data-driven group variable selection method for data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric linear programming approach to the estimation of production frontiers. The proposed method extends the group Lasso…

We consider a nonparametric additive model of a conditional mean function in which the number of variables and additive components may be larger than the sample size but the number of nonzero additive components is "small" relative to the…

In this paper, we are concerned with regression problems where covariates can be grouped in nonoverlapping blocks, and where only a few of them are assumed to be active. In such a situation, the group Lasso is an at- tractive method for…

Shared frailty models have been proposed to accommodate unmeasured cluster-specific risk factors through the inclusion of a common latent frailty term. Among possible frailty distributions, the Gamma distribution is appealing due to its…

Lasso is a celebrated method for variable selection in linear models, but it faces challenges when the variables are moderately or strongly correlated. This motivates alternative approaches such as using a non-convex penalty, adding a ridge…
