Variable Selection for Multivariate Failure Time Data via Regularized Sparse-Input Neural Network by Bin Luo, Susan Halabi

“…For linear marginal hazard models, we develop a penalized pseudo-partial likelihood approach with a group LASSO-type penalty applied to the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi mathvariant="sans-serif-italic">ℓ</mi><mn>2</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> norms of coefficients corresponding to the same covariates across marginal hazard functions. To capture potential nonlinear effects, we further extend the approach to a sparse-input neural network model with structured group penalties on input-layer weights. …”
