On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The purpose of this work is to construct confidence intervals for high-dimensional Cox proportional hazards regression models, where the number of time-dependent covariates can be larger than the sample size. The definition of the one-step estimator is similar to those in van de Geer et al. (2014) and Zhang and Zhang (2014), but since in the Cox regression model, the Hessian matrix is based on time-dependent covariates in censored risk sets, the technical difficulties are fundamentally different. I will talk about the related theoretical and numerical results in this talk. This is joint work with Jelena Bradic (UCSD) and Richard Samworth (Cambridge).
