orsf_control_net {aorsf}

Penalized Cox regression ORSF control

Description

Use regularized Cox proportional hazard models to identify linear combinations of input variables while fitting an orsf model.

Usage

orsf_control_net(alpha = 1/2, df_target = NULL, ...)

Arguments

alpha

(double) The elastic net mixing parameter. A value of 1 gives the lasso penalty, and a value of 0 gives the ridge penalty. If multiple values of alpha are given, then a penalized model is fit using each alpha value prior to splitting a node.

df_target

(integer) Preferred number of variables used in a linear combination.

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods (not currently used).

Details

df_target has to be less than mtry, which is a separate argument in orsf that indicates the number of variables chosen at random prior to finding a linear combination of those variables.

Value

an object of class 'orsf_control', which should be used as an input for the control argument of orsf.
