The purpose of this paper is to classify UIS data in order to identify their risk, reduce drug abuse, and to prevent high-risk in HIV behavior. A method for fitting proportional hazards models to censored survival data is described. Stratification is performed recursively. A tree-based method for censored survival data is developed, based on maximizing the difference in survival between groups of patients represented by nodes in a binary tree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
