sksurv.svm.HingeLossSurvivalSVM

class sksurv.svm.HingeLossSurvivalSVM(solver='ecos', alpha=1.0, kernel='linear', gamma=None, degree=3, coef0=1, kernel_params=None, pairs='all', verbose=False, timeit=None, max_iter=None)[source]

Naive implementation of kernel survival support vector machine.

A new set of samples is created by building the difference between any two feature vectors in the original data, thus this version requires \(O(\text{n_samples}^4)\) space and \(O(\text{n_samples}^6 \cdot \text{n_features})\).

See sksurv.svm.NaiveSurvivalSVM for the linear naive survival SVM based on liblinear.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\begin{split}\min_{\mathbf{w}}\quad \frac{1}{2} \lVert \mathbf{w} \rVert_2^2 + \gamma \sum_{i = 1}^n \xi_i \\ \text{subject to}\quad \mathbf{w}^\top \phi(\mathbf{x})_i - \mathbf{w}^\top \phi(\mathbf{x})_j \geq 1 - \xi_{ij},\quad \forall (i, j) \in \mathcal{P}, \\ \xi_i \geq 0,\quad \forall (i, j) \in \mathcal{P}.\end{split}\\\mathcal{P} = \{ (i, j) \mid y_i > y_j \land \delta_j = 1 \}_{i,j=1,\dots,n}.\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

See 1, 2, 3 for further description.

Parameters
  • solver ("ecos" | "osqp", optional, default: ecos) – Which quadratic program solver to use.

  • alpha (float, positive, default: 1) – Weight of penalizing the hinge loss in the objective function.

  • kernel ("linear" | "poly" | "rbf" | "sigmoid" | "cosine" | "precomputed") – Kernel. Default: “linear”

  • gamma (float, optional) – Kernel coefficient for rbf and poly kernels. Default: 1/n_features. Ignored by other kernels.

  • degree (int, default: 3) – Degree for poly kernels. Ignored by other kernels.

  • coef0 (float, optional) – Independent term in poly and sigmoid kernels. Ignored by other kernels.

  • kernel_params (mapping of string to any, optional) – Parameters (keyword arguments) and values for kernel passed as call

  • pairs ("all" | "nearest" | "next", optional, default: "all") –

    Which constraints to use in the optimization problem.

    • all: Use all comparable pairs. Scales quadratic in number of samples.

    • nearest: Only considers comparable pairs \((i, j)\) where \(j\) is the uncensored sample with highest survival time smaller than \(y_i\). Scales linear in number of samples (cf. sksurv.svm.MinlipSurvivalSVM).

    • next: Only compare against direct nearest neighbor according to observed time, disregarding its censoring status. Scales linear in number of samples.

  • verbose (bool, default: False) – Enable verbose output of solver.

  • timeit (False or int) – If non-zero value is provided the time it takes for optimization is measured. The given number of repetitions are performed. Results can be accessed from the timings_ attribute.

  • max_iter (int, optional) – Maximum number of iterations to perform. By default use solver’s default value.
