In this paper we design a sure independent ranking and screening procedure for censored regression (cSIRS, for short) with ultrahigh dimensional covariates. The inverse probability weighted cSIRS procedure is model-free in the sense that it does not specify a parametric or semiparametric regression function between the response variable and the covariates. Thus, it is robust to model mis-specification. This model-free property is very appealing in ultrahigh dimensional data analysis, particularly when there is lack of information for the underlying regression structure. The cSIRS procedure is also robust in the presence of outliers or extreme values as it merely uses the rank of the censored response variable. We establish both the sure screening and the ranking consistency properties for the cSIRS procedure when the number of covariates p satisfies $$p=o\\{\\exp (an)\\}$$p=o{exp(an)}, where a is a positive constant and n is the available sample size. The advantages of cSIRS over existing competitors are demonstrated through comprehensive simulations and an application to the diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma data set. |
