| Abstract | In many biostatistical applications concerned with the analysis of duration times and especially those including high-dimensional genetic information, the following three extensions of classical accelerated failure time (AFT) models are required: (1) a flexible, nonparametric estimate of the survival time distribution, (2) a structured additive predictor including linear as well as nonlinear effects of continuous covariates and possibly further types of effects such as random or spatial effects, and (3) regularization and variable selection of high-dimensional effect vectors. Although a lot of research has dealt with these features separately, the development of AFT models combining them in a unified framework has not been considered yet. We present a Bayesian approach for modeling and inference in such flexible AFT models, incorporating a penalized Gaussian mixture error distribution, a structured additive predictor with Bayesian P-splines as a main ingredient, and Bayesian versions of ridge and LASSO as well as a spike and slab priors to enforce sparseness. Priors for regression coefficients are conditionally Gaussian, facilitating Markov chain Monte Carlo inference. The proposed model class is extensively tested in simulation studies and applied in the analysis of acute myeloid leukemia survival times considering microarray information as well as clinical covariates as prognostic factors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
