validate_external function

Externally validate high-dimensional Cox models with time-dependent AUC

Externally validate high-dimensional Cox models with time-dependent AUC

validate_external( object, x, time, event, x_new, time_new, event_new, tauc.type = c("CD", "SZ", "UNO"), tauc.time )

Arguments

  • object: Model object fitted by hdnom::fit_*().
  • x: Matrix of training data used for fitting the model.
  • time: Survival time of the training data. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x.
  • event: Status indicator of the training data, normally 0 = alive, 1 = dead. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x.
  • x_new: Matrix of predictors for the external validation data.
  • time_new: Survival time of the external validation data. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x_new.
  • event_new: Status indicator of the external validation data, normally 0 = alive, 1 = dead. Must be of the same length with the number of rows as x_new.
  • tauc.type: Type of time-dependent AUC. Including "CD" proposed by Chambless and Diao (2006)., "SZ" proposed by Song and Zhou (2008)., "UNO" proposed by Uno et al. (2007).
  • tauc.time: Numeric vector. Time points at which to evaluate the time-dependent AUC.
