What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you analyze censored time-to-event data with the right survival methods instead of forcing it into ordinary regression or classification workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fits Cox proportional hazards, penalized Cox, random survival forests, gradient boosting, and survival SVM models.
- Evaluates predictions with censoring-aware metrics such as Uno's C-index, time-dependent AUC, and Brier score.
- Handles competing risks, survival object construction, preprocessing, and scikit-learn pipelines for research-grade modeling.
- Example use case: compare several survival models on a biomedical dataset, tune hyperparameters with cross-validation, and report the best-performing model with calibrated evaluation metrics.
Quick Start
Use the scikit-survival skill to build a censored survival dataset, fit an appropriate model, and evaluate it with censoring-aware metrics.
