Abstract

We propose an inferential procedure for additive hazards regression with high-dimensional survival data, where the covariates are prone to measurement errors. We develop a double bias correction method by first correcting the bias arising from measurement errors in covariates through an estimating function for the regression parameter. By adopting the convex relaxation technique, a regularized estimator for the regression parameter is obtained by elaborately designing a feasible loss based on the estimating function, which is solved via linear programming. Using the Neyman orthogonality, we propose an asymptotically unbiased estimator which further corrects the bias caused by the convex relaxation and regularization. We derive the convergence rate of the proposed estimator and establish the asymptotic normality for the low-dimensional parameter estimator and the linear combination thereof, accompanied with a consistent estimator for the variance. Numerical experiments are carried out on both simulated and real datasets to demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed double bias correction method.
