Exploring Cumulative Effects in Survival Data Using Deep Learning Networks
Yang, Kang-Chung, Yuan, Shinsheng
In epidemiological research, modeling the cumulative effects of time-dependent exposures on survival outcomes presents a challenge due to their intricate temporal dynamics. Conventional spline-based statistical methods, though effective, require repeated data transformation for each spline parameter tuning, with survival analysis computations relying on the entire dataset, posing difficulties for large datasets. Meanwhile, existing neural network-based survival analysis methods focus on accuracy but often overlook the interpretability of cumulative exposure patterns. To bridge this gap, we introduce CENNSurv, a novel deep learning approach that captures dynamic risk relationships from time-dependent data. Evaluated on two diverse real-world datasets, CENNSurv revealed a multi-year lagged association between chronic environmental exposure and a critical survival outcome, as well as a critical short-term behavioral shift prior to subscription lapse. This demonstrates CENNSurv's ability to model complex temporal patterns with improved scalability. CENNSurv provides researchers studying cumulative effects a practical tool with interpretable insights.

Tesla publishes analyst forecasts suggesting sales set to fall
The company's shares are worth $1.4tn on the back of hopes for self-driving cars and robotics. The company's shares are worth $1.4tn on the back of hopes for self-driving cars and robotics. Tesla endured tough year in part thanks to some consumers' distaste for Elon Musk's embrace of rightwing politics Tesla has taken the unusual step of publishing sales forecasts that suggest 2025 deliveries will be lower than expected and future years' sales will be well below targets set by its chief executive, Elon Musk . The US electric vehicle maker published figures from analysts suggesting it will announce 423,000 deliveries during the fourth quarter of 2025, in a new "consensus" section on its investor website. That would represent a 16% decline from the final quarter of 2024.
