It seems to me that R returns the unpenalized log-likelihood for the ratio likelihood test when ridge regression Cox proportional model is implemented. Is this as expected?
In the example below, if I am not mistaken, fit$loglik[2] is unpenalized log-likelihood for the final estimates of coefficients. I would expect to get the penalized log-likelihood. I would like to check if this is as expected. If not, I am prepared to give more details. Cheers,DK. For example, if we have a model > fit <- coxph(Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ridge(rx, age, ecog.ps, > theta=1),data=ovarian) > fit$loglik [1] -34.98494 -27.17558 > fit Call: coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ ridge(rx, age, ecog.ps, theta = 1), data = ovarian) coef se(coef) se2 Chisq DF p ridge(rx) -0.780 0.5862 0.5589 1.77 1 0.1800 ridge(age) 0.123 0.0387 0.0356 10.15 1 0.0014 ridge(ecog.ps) 0.104 0.5729 0.5478 0.03 1 0.8600 Iterations: 1 outer, 4 Newton-Raphson Degrees of freedom for terms= 2.7 Likelihood ratio test=15.6 on 2.67 df, p=0.000941 n= 26 > fit$loglik[2] [1] -27.17558 _________________________________________________________________ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
