Survival Analysis via Ordinary Differential Equations
基于常微分方程的生存分析
This article introduces an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) notion for survival analysis. The ODE notion not only provides a unified modeling framework, but more importantly, also enables the development of a widely applicable, scalable, and easy-to-implement procedure for estimation and inference. Specifically, the ODE modeling framework unifies many existing survival models, such as the proportional hazards model, the linear transformation model, the accelerated…
