New Cox model method enhances variable selection for survival analysis

Researchers have developed a new method for variable selection in survival analysis, building upon Cox's proportional hazards model. This approach utilizes a square-root transformation of the partial likelihood to make the selection of the regularization parameter independent of the unknown baseline hazard and censoring mechanism. The proposed criterion combines aspects of information criteria like BIC and penalized regression methods such as the lasso, aiming to improve performance on both simulated and real-world data, particularly in support recovery applications.

    Survival of the fittest Cox model: Pivotal variable selection for time-to-event data

    arXiv:2510.19374v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit Cox's proportional hazards model to improve variable selection in survival analysis. A square-root transformation of the partial likelihood renders the selection of the regularization parameter pivotal, free of the un…
