Reframing proportional-hazards modeling for large time-to-event datasets with applications to deep learning

Frontiers in Biostatistics Seminar Noah Simon, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Biostatistics University of Washington To build inferential or predictive survival models, it is common to assume proportionality of hazards and fit a model by maximizing the partial likelihood. This has been combined with non-parametric and high dimensional techniques, eg. spline expansions and penalties, to flexibly build […]
