| Abstract/Description: | The objective of the current work is to develop novel procedures for the analysis of functional dataand apply them for investigation of gender disparity in survival of lung cancer patients. In particular,we use the time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model where the clinical information isincorporated via time-independent covariates, and the current age is modeled using its expansionover wavelet basis functions. We developed computer algorithms and applied them to the dataset which is derived from Florida Cancer Data depository data set (all personal information whichallows to identify patients was eliminated). We also studied the problem of estimation of a continuousmatrix-variate function of low rank. We have constructed an estimator of such functionusing its basis expansion and subsequent solution of an optimization problem with the Schattennormpenalty. We derive an oracle inequality for the constructed estimator, study its properties viasimulations and apply the procedure to analysis of Dynamic Contrast medical imaging data. | |
