ICBoost: An XGBoost-Based Unbiased Transformed Algorithm for Survival Regression
Prediction models for disease onset are critical in biomedical research and survival analysis. With machine learning methods increasingly being used to handle survival data with censoring, unbiased transformation theory offers an alternative method for ...

Right-censored models on massive data
This article considers the automatic selection problem of the relevant explanatory variables in a right-censored model on a massive database. We propose and study four aggregated censored adaptive LASSO estimators constructed by dividing the observations in such a way as to keep the consistency of the estimator of the survival curve. We show that these

Clinical, Histologic, and Serological Predictors of Renal Function Loss in Lupus Nephritis
Objective Kidney survival is the ultimate goal in lupus nephritis (LN) management, but long‐term predictors remain inadequately studied, requiring long‐term follow‐up. This study aimed to identify baseline and early longitudinal predictors of kidney survival in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership LN longitudinal cohort.

Measuring Inequality Using Censored Data: A Multiple Imputation Approach [PDF]
To measure income inequality with right censored (topcoded) data, we propose multiple imputation for censored observations using draws from Generalized Beta of the Second Kind distributions to provide partially synthetic datasets analyzed using complete ...

Testing Goodness-of-Fit of Parametric Models for Censored Data
A goodness-of-fit test for left-, right- and interval-censored data, assuming random censorship is proposed and studied. In the first step of the test, the null model is extended to a series of nested alternative models for censored data as in Zhang and ...

Estimating panel data duration models with censored data
This paper presents a method for estimating a class of panel data duration models, under which an unknown transformation of the duration variable is linearly related to the observed explanatory variables and the unobserved heterogeneity (or frailty ...

Distinct Systemic Sclerosis Phenotypes Related to Ethnicity: An Opportunity to Personalize Care?
Objective The objective is to describe and compare demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to ethnic background. Methods Participants enrolled in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who self‐identified to a single ethnicity group were included.
