Additive Cox proportional hazards models for next-generation sequencingdata
TL;DR: An important aim of this thesis is to propose a way to combine the clinical covariate as fixed predictors with CNAs genomics windows as smoothing terms using the penalized additive Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) model.
