Yanbo Liang commented on SPARK-8518: ------------------------------------ [~meihuawu] Thank you for your valued comments. I agree with you that AFT model is common used. But I did not find that it's easily parallelizable than Cox PH model. I think AFT model is like regression problems and need to optimize loss function using SGD or other method. Could you give me some references about the likelihood function, loss function and gradient function that can prove that it's more easily parallelizable than Cox PH model? > Log-linear models for survival analysis > --------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-8518 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8518 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ML > Reporter: Xiangrui Meng > Assignee: Yanbo Liang > Original Estimate: 168h > Remaining Estimate: 168h > > We want to add basic log-linear models for survival analysis.
