Fig. 2From: A nomogram model based on pre-treatment and post-treatment MR imaging radiomics signatures: application to predict progression-free survival for nasopharyngeal carcinomaSelection of radiomics features before treatment via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model. Tuning parameter (λ) selection in this model used tenfold cross-validation via the minimum criteria. A The Harrell’s concordance index (C-index) was plotted versus log(λ). Dotted vertical lines were drawn at the optimal values by using the minimum criteria and the 1 standard error of the minimum criteria (the 1-SE criteria), and the line on the right with λ value of 0.05284452 was chosen according to tenfold cross-validation. B LASSO coefficient profiles of the 278 radiomics features. A coefficient profile plot was generated versus value of log (λ). Two vertical lines were drawn at the value selected using tenfold cross-validation, where optimal λ pointed to 12 nonzero coefficientsBack to article page
