Mar 29, 2017 at 12:10 comment added alittleboy @DavidC.Norris Thanks for your feedback. The disease types actually consist of different tumor types, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. The real-world problem is to see if any trend (increasing/decreasing) lab parameter value taken at different time points can help predict the survival time, taking into account the heterogeneity of different tumor types (type).
Mar 28, 2017 at 19:20 comment added David C. Norris I am heartened to see you starting your exploration with simulated data, and have an idea about how to answer your question usefully. But one thing I'll need to understand better is the meaning of these 'disease types'. Are these unrelated diseases, or do they represent grades/levels of severity of a given disease? Also, although I appreciate your aiming for abstraction, it would also help me to know more about the real-world problem in the background.
