A method of producing a model for use in predicting time to an event includes obtaining multi-dimensional, non-linear vectors of information indicative of status of multiple test subjects, at least one of the vectors being right-censored, lacking an indication of a time of occurrence of the event with respect to the corresponding test subject, and performing regression using the vectors of information to produce a kernel-based model to provide an output value related to a prediction of time to the event based upon at least some of the information contained in the vectors of information, where for each vector comprising right-censored data, a censored-data penalty function is used to affect the regression, the censored-data penalty function being different than a non-censored-data penalty function used for each vector comprising non-censored data.

Support vector regression for censored data

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for training a neural network having weighted connections for classification of data, as well as embodiments corresponding to the use of such a neural network for the classification of data, including, for example, prediction of an event (e.g., disease). The method may include inputting input training data into the neural network, processing, by the neural network, the input training data to produce an output, determining an error between the output and a desired output corresponding to the input training data, rating the performance neural network using an objective function, wherein the objective function comprises a function C substantially in accordance with an approximation of the concordance index and adapting the weighted connections of the neural network based upon results of the objective function.

Methods and systems for predicting occurrence of an event

Methods and systems are provided for feature selection in machine learning, in which the features selected for inclusion in a prediction rule are selected based on statistical metric(s) of feature contribution and/or model fitness.

Methods and systems for feature selection in machine learning based on feature contribution and model fitness

Methods and systems are provided that use clinical information, molecular information and computer-generated morphometric information in a predictive model for predicting the occurrence (e.g., recurrence) of a medical condition, for example, cancer.

Systems and methods for treating, diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of a medical condition

Methods and systems are provided that use clinical information, molecular information and computer-generated morphometric information in a predictive model for predicting the occurrence (e.g., recurrence) of a medical condition, for example, cancer. In an embodiment, a model that predicts prostate cancer recurrence is provided, where the model is based on features including seminal vesicle involvement, surgical margin involvement, lymph node status, androgen receptor (AR) staining index of tumor, a morphometric measurement of epithelial nuclei, and at least one morphometric measurement of stroma. In another embodiment, a model that predicts clinical failure post prostatectomy is provided, wherein the model is based on features including biopsy Gleason score, lymph node involvement, prostatectomy Gleason score, a morphometric measurement of epithelial cytoplasm, a morphometric measurement of epithelial nuclei, a morphometric measurement of stroma, and intensity of androgen receptor (AR) in racemase (AMACR)-positive epithelial cells.
