Abstract

This paper presents a new compensation mechanism to be used with a Partial Logistic Artificial Neural Network for Competing Risks with Automatic Relevance Determination (PLANN-CR-ARD) and tested comprehensibly on a real breast cancer dataset with excellent convergence properties and numerical stability for the non-linear model. The Model Selection is implemented for the PLANN-CR-ARD model, benefiting from a scaling of the prior error term which together with the data error term forms the total error function that is optimized. The PLANN-CR-ARD proves to be an excellent prognostic tool that can be used in regression analysis tasks such as the survival analysis of cancer datasets.
