Cox Benchmarking

2016-2018

Algorithm for R


The CoxBenchmarking implementation is a computer-based benchmarking algorithm that compares survival models that were built using various machine learning strategies. It was developed as an extension of the FRESA.CAD package ( CRAN and use the Random Holdout Cross-Validation from the package. CoxBenchmarking provides an algorithm that generates eleven different survival models by selecting features from ML-based techniques: 6 wrappers and 5 filters. Furthermore, the function summarizes the results with tables and graphs providing a well-ordered data structure and a plot function. The package together with CoxBenchmarking is available at https://github.com/joseTamezPena/FRESA.CAD
