Partial Least Squares for Cox Models with Big Matrices

v0.8.1 · Nov 18, 2025 · GPL-3

Description

Provides Partial least squares Regression and various regular, sparse or kernel, techniques for fitting Cox models for big data. Provides a Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithm adapted to Cox proportional hazards models that works with 'bigmemory' matrices without loading the entire dataset in memory. Also implements a gradient-descent based solver for Cox proportional hazards models that works directly on 'bigmemory' matrices. Bertrand and Maumy (2023) <https://hal.science/hal-05352069>, and <https://hal.science/hal-05352061> highlighted fitting and cross-validating PLS-based Cox models to censored big data.
