BTdecayLasso - Bradley-Terry Model with Exponential Time Decayed Log-Likelihood and Adaptive Lasso

We utilize the Bradley-Terry Model to estimate the abilities of teams using paired comparison data. For dynamic approximation of current rankings, we employ the Exponential Decayed Log-likelihood function, and we also apply the Lasso penalty for variance reduction and grouping. The main algorithm applies the Augmented Lagrangian Method described by Masarotto and Varin (2012) <doi:10.1214/12-AOAS581>.

frailtyMMpen - Efficient Algorithm for High-Dimensional Frailty Model

The penalized and non-penalized Minorize-Maximization (MM) method for frailty models to fit the clustered data, multi-event data and recurrent data. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), minimax concave penalty (MCP) and smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalized functions are implemented. All the methods are computationally efficient. These general methods are proposed based on the following papers, Huang, Xu and Zhou (2022) <doi:10.3390/math10040538>, Huang, Xu and Zhou (2023) <doi:10.1177/09622802221133554>.
