23 results for partial-likelihood

A new approach uses partial likelihood to improve tree-based density estimation and inference.

problem Inference on tree-based models suffers from overfitting and reduced efficiency due to data-independent partitioning.
method Proposes a partial likelihood approach to data-dependent partitioning of tree-based models.
result Significant gains in estimation accuracy and computational efficiency from adopting partial likelihood.

We introduce a doubly stochastic proximal gradient algorithm for optimizing a finite average of smooth convex functions, whose gradients depend on numerically expensive expectations. Our main motivation is the acceleration of the optimization of the regularized Cox partial-likelihood (the core model used in survival an…

To better understand the interplay of censoring and sparsity we develop finite sample properties of nonparametric Cox proportional hazard's model. Due to high impact of sequencing data, carrying genetic information of each individual, we work with over-parametrized problem and propose general class of group penalties s…

Improved survival analysis using square root Cox's models and neural networks.

problem Feature selection in survival analysis.
method Square root Cox's survival analysis by the fittest linear and neural networks model, directly tuning penalty parameter λ.
result Substantially improved over traditional methods, achieving phase transition in feature selection.

Model-based clustering is widely-used in a variety of application areas. However, fundamental concerns remain about robustness. In particular, results can be sensitive to the choice of kernel representing the within-cluster data density. Leveraging on properties of pairwise differences between data points, we propose a…

Survival analysis is a type of semi-supervised ranking task where the target output (the survival time) is often right-censored. Utilizing this information is a challenge because it is not obvious how to correctly incorporate these censored examples into a model. We study how three categories of loss functions, namely …

Estimates conditional distribution function using neural networks for censored and uncensored data.

problem Estimating conditional distribution function for censored and uncensored data.
method Neural network algorithm based on Cox regression with time-dependent covariates, using full likelihood with unconstrained optimization.
result Proposed method yields more accurate estimates than existing methods when model assumptions are violated.

Motion analysis is used in computer vision to understand the behaviour of moving objects in sequences of images. Optimising the interpretation of dynamic biological systems requires accurate and precise motion tracking as well as efficient representations of high-dimensional motion trajectories so that these can be use…

We consider concepts and models for measuring inequality in the distribution of resources with a focus on how inequality varies as a function of covariates. Lorenz introduced a device for measuring inequality in the distribution of income that indicates how much the incomes below the uth^{th} quantile fall short of the…
