Adaptive kernel estimation of the baseline function in the Cox model with high-dimensional covariates
Résumé
We propose a novel kernel estimator of the baseline function in a general high-dimensional Cox model, for which we derive non-asymptotic rates of convergence. To construct our estimator, we first estimate the regression parameter in the Cox model via a LASSO procedure. We then plug this estimator into the classical kernel estimator of the baseline function, obtained by smoothing the so-called Breslow estimator of the cumulative baseline function. We propose and study an adaptive procedure for selecting the bandwidth, in the spirit of Goldenshluger and Lepski [14]. We state non-asymptotic oracle inequalities for the final estimator, which leads to a reduction in the rate of convergence when the dimension of the covariates grows.
