1 INTRODUCTION
Survival analysis is a branch of statistics w
analysis of time to events, such as dea
organisms and failure in mechanical system
called reliability theory or reliability analysis
and duration analysis or duration modeling
event history analysis in sociology . Survival a
to analysis the proportion of a population w
past a certain time. The Cox regression mode
the most popular method in regression analy
survival data. However, due to the very h
space of the predictors, the standard maxim
likelihood method cannot be applied direct
parameter estimates. To deal with the problem
the most popular approach is to use the p
likelihood which was proposed by Tibshiran
called the least absolute shrinkage and se
(Lasso) estimation. In the case of biological s
unambiguous, but for mechanical reliability, fa
well-defined, for there may well be mechan
which failure is partial, a matter of degree,
localized in time. Even in biological problem
