Extracts predicted survival probabilities from survival model fitted by glmnet, providing an interface as required by pmpec.

# S3 method for coxnet
predictProb(object, response, x, times, complexity, ...)

Arguments

object

a fitted model of class glmnet

response

a two-column matrix with columns named 'time' and 'status'. The latter is a binary variable, with '1' indicating death, and '0' indicating right censored. The function Surv() in package survival produces such a matrix

x

n*p matrix of covariates.

times

vector of evaluation time points.

complexity

lambda penalty value.

...

additional arguments, currently not used.

Value

Matrix with probabilities for each evaluation time point in times (columns) and each new observation (rows).
