In c060: Extended Inference for Lasso and Elastic-Net Regularized Cox and Generalized Linear Models

Extract predicted survival probabilities from a glmnet fit

Description

Extracts predicted survival probabilities from survival model fitted by glmnet, providing an interface as required by pmpec.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'coxnet'
predictProb(object, response, x, times, complexity, ...)

Arguments

object	a fitted model of class glmnet
response	a two-column matrix with columns named 'time' and 'status'. The latter is a binary variable, with '1' indicating death, and '0' indicating right censored. The function Surv() in package survival produces such a matrix
x	n*p matrix of covariates.
times	vector of evaluation time points.
complexity	lambda penalty value.
...	additional arguments, currently not used.

Value

Matrix with probabilities for each evaluation time point in times (columns) and each new observation (rows).
