Anahita Bhiwandiwalla commented on SPARK-7338:
----------------------------------------------

I am currently working on implementing this in Spark. Implementing it using the 
log of the partial likelihood of the maximum likelihood estimate. My 
implementation, as part of this story, is when we have unique survival times. I 
am working on having efficient passes on data to not compromise performance. I 
have kept the API similar to AFT. This work should be completed in about 3-4 
weeks, with testing.
Subsequently, after completing this, for ties in survival times, I am looking 
at both Efron approximation(default in R) and and Breslow approximation(default 
in SAS). We could keep this as a option- the user can pick which to have chose 
to have and either as a default. This could be opened as a new 
feature/enhancements ticket.

Please assign this ticket to me.

> One very important model in space of Survival Modelling is missing from Spark 
> MLLib v1.3.1. It would be good if Cox Proportional Hazards could be available 
> in next release.
