This is a C++ speed-up and extended version of the R-pakcage [psbcGroup](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=psbcGroup).
It implements the Bayesian Lasso Cox model ([Lee et al., 2011](https://doi.org/10.2202/1557-4679.1301)) and the Bayesian Lasso Cox with mandatory variables ([Zucknick et al., 2015](https://doi.org/10.1002/bimj.201400160)).
Bayesian Lasso Cox models with other shrinkage and group priors ([Lee et al., 2015](https://doi.org/10.1002/sam.11266)) are to be implemented later on.

## Installation

Install the latest released version from [CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=psbcSpeedUp)

```{r install1, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("psbcSpeedUp")
```

Install the latest development version from GitHub

```{r install2, eval = FALSE}
#install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ocbe-uio/psbcSpeedUp")
```

## Examples

### Run a Bayesian Lasso Cox with mandatory variables

Data set `exampleData` consists of six components:
survival times `t`,
event status `di`,
covariates `x`,
number of genomics variables `p`,
number of clinical variables `q` and
true effects of covariates `beta_true`.
See `?exampleData` for more information of the data.

To run a Bayesian Lasso Cox model for variable selection of the first $p$ genomics variables and inclusion of $q$ mandatory variables, one can specify arguments of the main function `psbcSpeedUp()` with `p = p` and `q = q`.
If the arguments `p` and `q` are unspecified, the Bayesian Lasso Cox model does variable selection for all covariates, i.e., by default `p = ncol(survObj$x)` and `q = 0`.

```{r, results='hide', warning=FALSE}
# Load the example dataset
data("exampleData", package = "psbcSpeedUp")
p <- exampleData$p
q <- exampleData$q
survObj <- exampleData[1:3]

# Set hyperparameters (see help file for specifying more hyperparameters)
mypriorPara <- list('eta0'=0.02, 'kappa0'=1, 'c0'=2, 'r'=10/9, 'delta'=1e-05,
'lambdaSq'=1, 'sigmaSq'= runif(1, 0.1, 10), 'beta.prop.var'=1, 'beta.clin.var'=1)

# run Bayesian Lasso Cox
library("psbcSpeedUp")
set.seed(123)
fitBayesCox <- psbcSpeedUp(survObj, p=p, q=q, hyperpar=mypriorPara,
nIter=1000, burnin=500, outFilePath="/tmp")
```


### Plot posterior estimates of regression cofficients

The function `psbcSpeedUp::plot()` can show the posterior mean and 95% credible intervals of regression coefficients.

```{r, fig.width=5, fig.height=8}
plot(fitBayesCox)
```

### Plot time-dependent Brier scores

The function `psbcSpeedUp::plotBrier()` can show the time-dependent Brier scores based on posterior mean of coefficients or Bayesian model averaging.

```{r, fig.width=6, fig.heigh=5}
plotBrier(fitBayesCox, times = 80)
```
```

```

### Predict survival probabilities and cumulative hazards

The function `psbcSpeedUp::predict()` can estimate the survival probabilities and cumulative hazards.

```{r}
predict(fitBayesCox, type = c("cumhazard", "survival"))
```
```
##        observation   times cumhazard  survival
##     1:           1   0.264  1.14e-05  1.00e+00
##     2:           2   0.264  4.66e-05  1.00e+00
##     3:           3   0.264  6.07e-05  1.00e+00
##     4:           4   0.264  1.71e-05  1.00e+00
##     5:           5   0.264  7.55e-05  1.00e+00
