cv.pwexpm_fit: Cross Validate a Piecewise Exponential Model

Description

Build and cross validate a piecewise exponential model.

Usage

cv.pwexpm_fit(time, event, nfold=5, nsim=100, breakpoint=NULL,
             nbreak=0, exclude_int=NULL, min_pt_tail=5, max_set=1000, seed=1818,
             optimizer='mle', tol=1e-4, parallel=FALSE, mc.core=4, ...)

Value

A object of class "cv.pwexpm" is a numeric vector containing the CV log likelihood in each round of simulation. The plot function can be used to make a boxplot of the CV log likelihoods from pwexpm.

Arguments

time

observed time from randomization.

event

the status indicator. See pwexpm_fit.

nfold

the number of folds used in CV.

nsim

the number of simulations.

breakpoint

pre-specified breakpoints. See pwexpm_fit.

nbreak

total number of breakpoints. See pwexpm_fit.

exclude_int

an interval that excludes any estimated breakpoints. See pwexpm_fit.

min_pt_tail

the minimum number of events used for estimating the tail (the hazard rate of the last piece). See pwexpm_fit.

max_set

maximum estimated combination of breakpoints. See pwexpm_fit.

seed

a random seed. Do not set seed if seed=NULL.

optimizer

one of the optimizers: mle, ols, or hybrid. See pwexpm_fit.

tol

the minimum allowed gap between two breakpoints. The gap is calculated as (max(time)-min(time))*tol. Keep it as default in most cases.

parallel

logical. If TRUE, use doSNOW package to run in parallel.

mc.core

number of processes allowed to be run in parallel.

...

internal function reserved.

Examples

Run this code
event_dist <- function(n)rpwexpm(n, rate = c(0.1, 0.01, 0.2), breakpoint =  c(5,14))
dat <- simdata(rand_rate = 20, drop_rate = 0.03,  total_sample = 1000,
               advanced_dist = list(event_dist=event_dist),
               add_column = c('censor_reason','event','followT','followT_abs'))

# here nsim=10 is for demo purpose, pls increase it in practice!!
# \donttest{
cv0 <- cv.pwexpm_fit(dat$followT, dat$event, nsim = 10, nbreak = 0)
cv1 <- cv.pwexpm_fit(dat$followT, dat$event, nsim = 10, nbreak = 1)
cv2 <- cv.pwexpm_fit(dat$followT, dat$event, nsim = 10, nbreak = 2)
sapply(list(cv0,cv1,cv2), median)
# }
