PRIMsrc (version 0.6.3)

Synthetic.4: Synthetic Dataset #4:

Description

Dataset from simulated regression survival model #4 as described in Dazard et al. (2015). Here, the regression function uses 1/10 of informative predictors in a \(p > n\) situation with \(p = 1000\) and \(n = 100\). The rest represents non-informative noisy covariates, which are not part of the design matrix. Survival time was generated from an exponential model with rate parameter \(\lambda\) (and mean \(\frac{1}{\lambda}\)) according to a Cox-PH model with hazard exp(eta), where eta(.) is the regression function. Censoring indicator were generated from a uniform distribution on [0, 2]. In this synthetic example, all covariates are continuous, i.i.d. from a multivariate standard normal distribution.

Usage

Synthetic.4

Arguments

Format

Each dataset consists of a numeric matrix containing \(n=100\) observations (samples) by rows and \(p=1000\) variables by columns, not including the censoring indicator and (censored) time-to-event variables. It comes as a compressed Rda data file.
