“…Additionally, the DAC strategy has been extended to a sparse Cox regression by Wang et al (2019); Xue et al (2020) developed a DAC algorithm that updates test statistics for hypothesis testing of the proportional hazards assumption under the Cox model as blocks of data are received sequentially. Moreover, the DAC algorithm has been incorporated in many existing techniques from various fields to improve precision and efficiency, namely, the evolutionary algorithm for large-scale optimization (Yang, Tang & Yao, 2019), information-based optimal subdata selection algorithm (Wang, 2019), a coevolutionary algorithm to enhance resource allocation for better control of a spreading virus (Zhao et al, 2020), and precision oncology for subtypes of sarcoma (Pestana et al, 2020), among others.…”
