The Cox proportional hazards model restricts the hazard ratio to be linear in the covariates. A survival model based on data from a clinical trial is developed using spline functions with variable knots to estimate the log hazard function. Moreover, the main point of the method is that a knot, seen
## Abstract Variable selection in regression with very big numbers of variables is challenging both in terms of model specification and computation. We focus on genetic studies in the field of survival, and we present a Bayesianβinspired penalized maximum likelihood approach appropriate for highβdi
We develop a nonparametric test, based on kernel smoothers, in order to decide whether some covariates could be suppressed in a multidimensional nonparametric regression study. We give the asymptotic distribution of the statistic involved in our test, under a general dependence assumption on the sam
