compare_by_validate: Compare high-dimensional Cox models by model validation

Description

Compare high-dimensional Cox models by model validation

Usage

compare_by_validate(
  x,
  time,
  event,
  model.type = c("lasso", "alasso", "flasso", "enet", "aenet", "mcp", "mnet", "scad",
    "snet"),
  method = c("bootstrap", "cv", "repeated.cv"),
  boot.times = NULL,
  nfolds = NULL,
  rep.times = NULL,
  tauc.type = c("CD", "SZ", "UNO"),
  tauc.time,
  seed = 1001,
  trace = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

Matrix of training data used for fitting the model; on which to run the validation.

time

Survival time. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x.

event

Status indicator, normally 0 = alive, 1 = dead. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x.

model.type

Model types to compare. Could be at least two of "lasso", "alasso", "flasso", "enet", "aenet", "mcp", "mnet", "scad", or "snet".

method

Validation method. Could be "bootstrap", "cv", or "repeated.cv".

boot.times

Number of repetitions for bootstrap.

nfolds

Number of folds for cross-validation and repeated cross-validation.

rep.times

Number of repeated times for repeated cross-validation.

tauc.type

Type of time-dependent AUC. Including "CD" proposed by Chambless and Diao (2006)., "SZ" proposed by Song and Zhou (2008)., "UNO" proposed by Uno et al. (2007).

tauc.time

Numeric vector. Time points at which to evaluate the time-dependent AUC.

seed

A random seed for cross-validation fold division.

trace

Logical. Output the validation progress or not. Default is TRUE.
