To foster clinicians' trust in predictive models, these models should be interpretable or explainable. A major prerequisite for interpretability or explainability is that feature subsets are stable, i.e., that predictors returned by feature or best subset selection approaches do not change dramatically when the data is perturbed only slightly. However, prior research has shown that stable selections are usually not possible when the number of labels in the smaller class per feature, or outcome events per variable (EPV), is very low, and it remains challenging to build stable, interpretable models in such cases. In this work, we conduct a narrative review in the very low EPV regime and propose to combine cardinality-constrained best subset selection for logistic regression with resampling to tackle the selection instability. We perform a comprehensive evaluation on both synthetic and real-world clinical data, and find that our novel resampling-based model selection procedure yields interpretable feature subsets with a better discriminative performance and stability compared to best subset selection without resampling as well as feature selection with and without resampling.

While the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) provides a natural target, most existing approaches focus on a single prespecified time point and do not account for temporal trajectory, leading to instability in estimation. We propose a deep survival learner (DSL) for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects with right-censored outcomes. The method is based on a doubly robust pseudo-outcome whose conditional expectation identifies time-specific CATEs under standard assumptions. This construction remains unbiased if either the outcome model or the treatment assignment model is correctly specified, when properly accounting for censoring. To estimate CATEs over a clinically relevant time spectrum, DSL employs a multi-output deep neural network with shared representations, enabling joint estimation of treatment effect trajectories. From a theoretical perspective, we derive error bounds for both pointwise and joint estimation over time. We show that joint estimation can leverage temporal structure to control estimation error without incurring much additional approximation cost under smoothness conditions, leading to improved stability relative to separate estimation. Cross-fitting is incorporated to reduce overfitting and mitigate bias arising from flexible nuisance estimation. Simulation studies demonstrate favorable finite-sample performance, particularly under nuisance model misspecification. Applied to the Boston Lung Cancer Study, DSL reveals heterogeneity in the effects of perioperative chemotherapy across patient characteristics and over time.</p>","PeriodicalId":49908,"journal":{"name":"Lifetime Data Analysis","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13672394/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diseases evolve dynamically over time, and studying longitudinal observations of specific biomarkers can help to understand patients response to treatment and predict disease progression. We propose a novel iterative regression-based method to estimate changes in patients status within a cohort that includes censored patients, and illustrate it on clinical data from myeloma cases. We formulate the relapse time estimation problem in the framework of Piecewise Deterministic Markov processes (PDMP), where the Euclidean component is a surrogate biomarker for patient state. This approach enables continuous-time estimation of the status-change dates, which in turn allows for accurate inference of the relapse time distribution. A key challenge lies in the partial observability of the process, a complexity that has been rarely addressed in previous studies. We evaluate the performance of our procedure through a simulation study and compare it with different approaches. This work is a proof of concept on biomarker trajectories with simple behaviour, but our method can easily be extended to more complex dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":50333,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biostatistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149185633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
