8,10]. However, even survival analysis comes in two flavors: Classical (frequentist) and Bayesian. We offer a novel, general-purpose, easy-to-understand and flexible Bayesian tool to analyze any type of time-to-event data and to answer the most common scientific...

For example, we may choose propensity score matching, logistic regression with covariate adjustment, or survival analysis. The selected method should address confounding variables and provide reliable estimates of the causal effect. The objective is to choose a statistical technique that best suits the ...
To bridge this gap, the present work pursues the ambitious objective of providing the research community with a novel open-source Python package, namely B-FADE, which revises and encodes the MAP-based approach formerly conceived and presented in31. An illustrative example is presented with regard...
The idea of building structured models loosely resembles earlier research efforts related to proportional hazards models [30] that present a popular choice in lifetime analysis. This class of survival models decomposes its estimations into components referring to the baseline function and a function of...
analysis, survival analysis, accelerated failure time modeling, longitudinal data analysis, and competing risk modeling. Each chapter progressively unravels intricate topics, from the foundations of Bayesian approaches to advanced techniques like variable selection, bivariate survival models, and Dirichlet ...

using the implementation from the scikit-survival84 Python library. Note that Breslow’s method is used for handling tied event times. Three performance metrics are used to evaluate survival tasks: the concordance index (CI)85, the CI based on inverse probability of censoring weights (CICW)86,...
000 trees implemented with thescikit-learn51Python library and trained to predict a single task using 200 extracted radiomics. The 6 features with highest Gini importance are selected (see Supplementary Fig.19for selected features). (b) Deep radiomic features extraction pipeline. The model, named ...
It ranges from lasso to Python and from multiple datasets in memory to multiple chains in Bayesian analysis. The highlights are listed below. If you click on a highlight, we will spirit you away to our website, where we will describe the feature in a dry but information-dense way. Or ...
