krylow.pls: Fits Krylow based PLS for additive hazards model

Description

Fits the PLS estimator for the additive risk model based on the least squares fitting criterion

Usage

krylow.pls(D, d, dim = 1)

Arguments

D

defined above

d

defined above

dim

number of pls dimensions

Value

returns a list with the following arguments:

beta

PLS regression coefficients

Details

$$ L(\beta,D,d) = \beta^T D \beta - 2 \beta^T d $$ where \(D=\int Z H Z dt\) and \(d=\int Z H dN\).
