coxboost

An event-history formula for competing risks of the
form <code>Hist(time,status)~sex+age</code> where <code>status</code> defines
competing events and right censored data. The code for right
censored can be controlled with argument <code>cens.code</code>, see man
page the function <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/Hist?package=pec&version=2.4.9" data-mini-rdoc="pec::Hist">Hist</a></code>.

formula

A data.frame in which the variables of formula are
defined.

data

If <code>TRUE</code> perform cross-validation to optimize the
parameter <code>stepno</code>. This calls the function <code>cv.CoxBoost</code>
whose arguments are prefix controlled, that is <code>cv.K=7</code> sets
the argument <code>K</code> of <code>cv.CoxBoost</code> to <code>7</code>.  If
<code>FALSE</code> use <code>stepno</code>.

The cause of interest in competing risk models.

cause

penalty

Arguments passed to either <code>CoxBoost</code> via
<code>CoxBoost.arg</code> or to <code>cv.CoxBoost</code> via
<code>cv.CoxBoost.arg</code>.


Formula interface for function <code>CoxBoost</code> of package <code>CoxBoost</code>.


survival

Validation of risk predictions obtained from survival models and
competing risk models based on censored data using inverse weighting and
cross-validation.
