Here are the relevant sections of the code: trainSet <- na.omit (dataset) #creat Y (survival matrix) for glmnet surv_obj <- Surv(trainSet$time,trainSet$status) ## tranform categorical variables into binary variables with dummy for trainSet predict_matrix <- model.matrix(~ ., data=trainSet, contrasts.arg = lapply (trainSet[,sapply(trainSet, is.factor)], contrasts, c...
