On the use of a clinical kernel in survival analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical datasets typically contain continuous, ordinal, categorical and binary variables. To model this type of datasets, linear kernel methods are generally used. However, the linear kernel has some disadvantages, which were tackled by the introduction of a clinical one. This work shows that the use of a clinical kernel can improve the performance of support vector machine survival models. In addition, the polynomial kernel is adapted in the same way to obtain a clinical polynomial kernel. A comparison is made with other non-linear additive kernels on six different survival data. Our results indicate that the use of a clinical kernel is a simple way to obtain non-linear models for survival analysis, without the need to tune an extra parameter.

متن کاملA Berry-Esseen Type Bound for the Kernel Density Estimator of Length-Biased Data
Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...
متن کاملISAR Image Improvement Using STFT Kernel Width Optimization Based On Minimum Entropy Criterion
Nowadays, Radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to form an image from moving targets. Conventional methods use Fourier transform to retrieve Doppler information. However, because of maneuvering of the target, the Doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. Joi...
