Feature (Covariates) selection in CoxPHFitter, Lifelines Survival Analysis












2















i am using this implemented model in Python for the purpose of survival analysis:



from lifelines import CoxPHFitter



Unfortunately i am not able(i do not know how) to loop over all covariates (features) to run the regression individualy for the purpose of feature selection and save their result. I am trying the script below:



`def fit_and_score_features2(X):
y=X[["Status","duration_yrs"]]
X.drop(["duration_yrs", "Status"], axis=1, inplace=True)
n_features = X.shape[1]
scores = np.empty(n_features)
m = CoxPHFitter()

for j in range(n_features):
Xj = X.values[:, j:j+1]
Xj=pd.merge(X, y, how='right', left_index=True, right_index=True)
m.fit(Xj, duration_col="duration_yrs", event_col="Status", show_progress=True)
scores[j] = m._score_
return scores`


Unfortunately it return me this error:




ValueError Traceback (most recent call
last) in ()
1 #Trying the function above
----> 2 scores = fit_and_score_features2(sample)
3 pd.Series(scores, index=features.columns).sort_values(ascending=False)



in fit_and_score_features2(X)
15 Xj=pd.merge(X, y, how='right', left_index=True, right_index=True)
16 m.fit(Xj, duration_col="duration_yrs", event_col="Status", show_progress=True)
---> 17 scores[j] = m.score
18 return scores



ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.




Thank you in advance.

  • Why are you using _score_ - that's a hidden variable, and it does not represent any kind of accuracy performance? score_ however is a measure of accuracy.

  • Oh, yes you are right, but it still does not work properly. The algorithm doesn't save individual values for each variable. Return of function: X1 0.523545 X2 0.523545 X3 0.523545 X4 0.52354

I think that i was able to debug with your help (@Cam.Davidson.Pilon). Thanks a lot. It is the proper script in my opinion:



`def fit_and_score_features2(X):
y=X[["Status","duration_yrs"]]
X.drop(["duration_yrs", "Status"], axis=1, inplace=True)
n_features = X.shape[1]
scores = np.empty(n_features)
m = CoxPHFitter()

for j in range(n_features):
Xj = X.iloc[:, j:j+1]
Xj=pd.merge(Xj, y, how='right', left_index=True, right_index=True)
m.fit(Xj, duration_col="duration_yrs", event_col="Status", show_progress=True)
scores[j] = m.score_
return scores`
