Gene selection in microarray survival studies under possibly non-proportional hazards [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2010
AbstractMotivation: Univariate Cox regression (COX) is often used to select genes possibly linked to survival. With non-proportional hazards (NPH), COX could lead to under- or over-estimation of effects.The effect size measure c=P(T1<T0), i.e.
