A comparison of machine learning methods for survival analysis of high-dimensional clinical data for dementia prediction

Abstract Data collected from clinical trials and cohort studies, such as dementia studies, are often high-dimensional, censored, heterogeneous and contain missing information, presenting challenges to traditional statistical analysis. There is an urgent need for methods that can overcome these chall...
