摘要:Survival data with multiple outcomes are frequently encountered in biomedical investigations.An illustrative example comes from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study where the cognitively normal subjects may clinically progress to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and/or Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. Transition time from normal cognition to MCI and that from MCI to AD are expected to be correlated within subject and the dependence is often accommodated by the frailty (random effects). Estimation in the frailty model unavoidably involves multiple integration which may be intractable and hence leads to severe computational challenges, especially in the presence of high-dimensional covariates. In this paper, we propose efficient minorization-maximization (MM) algorithms in the frailty model for survival data with multiple outcomes. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is further incorporated for simultaneous variable selection and homogeneity pursuit via regularization and fusion. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed algorithms. An application to the ADNI data is also provided to illustrate their practical utilities.
