Penalized landmark supermodels (penLM) for dynamic prediction for time-to-event outcomes in high-dimensional data by Anya H. Fries, Eunji Choi, Summer S. Han

“…We applied penLM to predict the updated 5-year risk of lung cancer mortality at diagnosis and for subsequent years by combining data from SEER registries (2007–2018), Medicare claims (2007–2018), Medicare Health Outcome Survey (2006–2018), and U.S. Census (1990–2010). Results The simulations confirmed valid coverage (~ 95%) of the confidence intervals of the proposed summary metrics. …”
