Sometimes similar data from other patient subgroups are available, e.g. from other clinical centers. Simple pooling of all subgroups can decrease the variance of the predicted parameters of the prediction models, but also increase the bias due to heterogeneity between the cohorts. A promising compromise is to identify those subgroups with a similar relationship between covariates and target variable and then include only these for model building.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We propose a subgroup-based weighted likelihood approach for survival prediction with high-dimensional genetic covariates. When predicting survival for a specific subgroup, for every other subgroup an individual weight determines the strength with which its observations enter into model building. MBO (model-based optimization) can be used to quickly find a good prediction model in the presence of a large number of hyperparameters. We use MBO to identify the best model for survival prediction of a specific subgroup by optimizing the weights for additional subgroups for a Cox model. The approach is evaluated on a set of lung cancer cohorts with gene expression measurements. The resulting models have competitive prediction quality, and they reflect the similarity of the corresponding cancer subgroups, with both weights close to 0 and close to 1 and medium weights.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title><jats:p>mlrMBO is implemented as an R-package and is freely available at http:\/\/github.com\/mlr-org\/mlrMBO.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btz361","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,13]],"date-time":"2019-05-13T19:14:13Z","timestamp":1557774853000},"page":"i484-i491","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Model-based optimization of subgroup weights for survival analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Jakob","family":"Richter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"Madjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg","family":"Rahnenf\u00fchrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062712371870400_btz361-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"666.","DOI":"10.2202\/1544-6115.1703","article-title":"Weighted lasso with data integration","volume":"10","author":"Bergersen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Statist.
