Feature selection for classification of survival analysis in lymphoma cancer

Survival analysis is known to have great potential for classifying clinical dataset and it has not been fully explored for classifying lymphoma cancer. Most survival analysis methods such as Life Table and Kaplan-Meier estimator have the problem of producing survival prognosis because they can only...

Most survival analysis methods such as Life Table and Kaplan-Meier estimator have the problem of producing survival prognosis because they can only estimate the probability of survival and are limited due to their dependence on a type of lymphoma features.
