MR, mean risk; Mean difference (5 percentile, 95 percentile), mean of the difference between the estimated mean risk, MR^, and the value of the information criterion in each model and its 5 and 95 percentiles; MR^sel, estimated MR for the selected model based on new data; c, proportion of random censoring; θ, regression parameters; n, total sample size. The values that are superior to other are highlighted.
