Returns predicted values from the proportional hazards
regression model.
Parameters
----------%(params_doc)s
exog : array-like
Data to use as `exog` in forming predictions. If not
provided, the `exog` values from the model used to fit the
data are used.%(cov_params_doc)s
endog : array-like
Duration (time) values at which the predictions are made.
Only used if pred_type is either 'cumhaz' or 'surv'. If
using model `exog`, defaults to model `endog` (time), but
may be provided explicitly to make predictions at
alternative times.
strata : array-like
A vector of stratum values used to form the predictions.
Not used (may be 'None') if pred_type is 'lhr' or 'hr'.
If `exog` is None, the model stratum values are used. If
`exog` is not None and pred_type is 'surv' or 'cumhaz',
stratum values must be provided (unless there is only one
stratum).
offset : array-like
Offset values used to create the predicted values.
pred_type : string
If 'lhr', returns log hazard ratios, if 'hr' returns
hazard ratios, if 'surv' returns the survival function, if
'cumhaz' returns the cumulative hazard function.
Returns
-------
A bunch containing two fields: `predicted_values` and
`standard_errors`.
Notes
-----
Standard errors are only returned when predicting the log
hazard ratio (pred_type is 'lhr').
Types `surv` and `cumhaz` require estimation of the cumulative
hazard function.

----------

r"""
Return a regularized fit to a linear regression model.
Parameters
----------
method :
Only the `elastic_net` approach is currently implemented.
alpha : scalar or array-like
The penalty weight. If a scalar, the same penalty weight
applies to all variables in the model. If a vector, it
must have the same length as `params`, and contains a
penalty weight for each coefficient.
start_params : array-like
Starting values for `params`.
refit : bool
If True, the model is refit using only the variables that
have non-zero coefficients in the regularized fit. The
refitted model is not regularized.
Returns
-------
A results object.
Notes
-----
The penalty is the ``elastic net`` penalty, which is a
combination of L1 and L2 penalties.
The function that is minimized is:
.. math::
-loglike/n + alpha*((1-L1\_wt)*|params|_2^2/2 + L1\_wt*|params|_1)
where :math:`|*|_1` and :math:`|*|_2` are the L1 and L2 norms.
Post-estimation results are based on the same data used to
select variables, hence may be subject to overfitting biases.
The elastic_net method uses the following keyword arguments:
maxiter : int
Maximum number of iterations
L1_wt : float
Must be in [0, 1]. The L1 penalty has weight L1_wt and the
L2 penalty has weight 1 - L1_wt.
cnvrg_tol : float
Convergence threshold for line searches
zero_tol : float
Coefficients below this threshold are treated as zero.
