Adaptive Cox Proportional Hazards

The Adaptive Cox Proportional Hazards model extends the classic Cox regression for time-to-event outcomes by adding adaptive LASSO (or related) penalization. It simultaneously estimates hazard ratios and performs variable selection, shrinking irrelevant covariate coefficients exactly to zero. This makes it especially valuable in high-dimensional clinical or genomic datasets where the number of candidate predictors is large relative to the number of events.
