Abstract:
|
Deep learning is a class of algorithms that uses multiple layers to create a risk prediction model. The layers involve an unknown weight vector that is estimated by minimizing a loss function. We extend the deep learning algorithms to handle censoring by replacing the loss function used in the absence of censoring by censoring unbiased loss functions. We discuss properties of these loss functions and practical issues related to implementation of the algorithms. The performance of the resulting deep learning algorithms is evaluated through simulation studies and analyzing data on breast cancer patients.
