Abstract:

Radiomics is a newly emerging field that provides a noninvasive approach for personalized therapy decision by identifying distinctive imaging features for predicting prognosis and therapeutic response. So far, many of the published radiomics studies utilize existing algorithms to identify the prognostic markers from biomedical images that are not specific to radiomics data. To better utilize biomedical image, we propose a novel machine learning approach, stability selection supervised principal component analysis (SSSuperPCA) that identifies stable features from radiomics big data coupled with dimension reduction for right censored survival outcomes. The proposed approach allows us to identify a set of stable features that are highly associated with the survival outcomes, control the per-family error rate, and predict the survival in a simple yet meaningful manner. We evaluate the performance of SSSuperPCA using simulations and real data sets for non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer, and compare it with other machine learning algorithms. The results demonstrate that our method has a competitive edge over other existing methods for right-censored survival outcomes.
