In a polynomial regression model, the divisibility conditions implicit in polynomial hierarchy give way to a natural construction of constraints for the model parameters. We use this principle to derive versions of strong and weak hierarchy…

In applied time-to-event analysis, a flexible parametric approach is to model the hazard rate as a piecewise constant function of time. However, the change points and values of the piecewise constant hazard are usually unknown and need to…

The $\ell_1$-penalized method, or the Lasso, has emerged as an important tool for the analysis of large data sets. Many important results have been obtained for the Lasso in linear regression which have led to a deeper understanding of…

In high-dimensions, many variable selection methods, such as the lasso, are often limited by excessive variability and rank deficiency of the sample covariance matrix. Covariance sparsity is a natural phenomenon in high-dimensional…

We consider nonlinear mixed effects models including high-dimensional covariates to model individual parameters variability. The objective is to identify relevant covariates among a large set under sparsity assumption and to estimate model…

While there are many well-developed data science methods for classification and regression, there are relatively few methods for working with right-censored data. Here, we present "survival stacking": a method for casting survival analysis…

In the analysis of survival outcome supplemented with both clinical information and high-dimensional gene expression data, use of the traditional Cox proportional hazards model (1972) fails to meet some emerging needs in biomedical…

This paper develops a new scalable sparse Cox regression tool for sparse high-dimensional massive sample size (sHDMSS) survival data. The method is a local $L_0$-penalized Cox regression via repeatedly performing reweighted $L_2$-penalized…

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…

We present a new method for post-selection inference for L1 (lasso)-penalized likelihood models, including generalized regression models. Our approach generalizes the post-selection framework presented in Lee et al (2014). The method…

Regression analysis with missing data is a long-standing and challenging problem, particularly when there are many missing variables with arbitrary missing patterns. Likelihood-based methods, although theoretically appealing, are often…

We consider a high-dimensional regression model with a possible change-point due to a covariate threshold and develop the Lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the threshold parameter. Our Lasso estimator not only selects…

We consider the problem of estimating and inferring treatment effects in randomized experiments. In practice, stratified randomization, or more generally, covariate-adaptive randomization, is routinely used in the design stage to balance…

Survival analysis aims to explore the relationship between covariates and the time until the occurrence of an event. The Cox proportional hazards model is commonly used for right-censored data, but it is not strictly limited to this type of…

Augmenting a smooth cost function with an $\ell_1$ penalty allows analysts to efficiently conduct estimation and variable selection simultaneously in sophisticated models and can be efficiently implemented using proximal gradient methods.…

We introduce a numerically tractable formulation of Bayesian joint models for longitudinal and survival data. The longitudinal process is modelled using generalised linear mixed models, while the survival process is modelled using 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.…

The Cox proportional hazards model is the most widely used regression model in univariate survival analysis. Extensions of the Cox model to bivariate survival data, however, remain scarce. We propose two novel extensions based on a…

We consider a class of Cox models with time-dependent effects that may be zero over certain unknown time regions or, in short, sparse time-varying effects. The model is particularly useful for biomedical studies as it conveniently depicts…
