Combining machine learning with Cox models to identify predictors for incident post-menopausal breast cancer in the UK Biobank

Abstract We aimed to identify potential novel predictors for breast cancer among post-menopausal women, with pre-specified interest in the role of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for risk prediction. We utilised an analysis pipeline where machine learning was used for feature selection, prior to risk pr...
