Random Survival Forest

The Random Survival Forest package provides a python implementation of the survival prediction method originally published by Ishwaran et al. (2008).

Getting Started

```python import time

from lifelines import datasets from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from random_survival_forest.models import RandomSurvivalForest from random_survival_forest.scoring import concordance_index

rossi = datasets.load_rossi()

Attention: duration column must be index 0, event column index 1 in y

y = rossi.loc[:, ["arrest", "week"]] X = rossi.drop(["arrest", "week"], axis=1) X, X_test, y, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.33, random_state=10)

print("Start training...") start_time = time.time() rsf = RandomSurvivalForest(n_estimators=10, n_jobs=-1, random_state=10) rsf = rsf.fit(X, y) print(f'--- {round(time.time() - start_time, 3)} seconds ---') y_pred = rsf.predict(X_test) c_val = concordance_index(y_time=y_test["week"], y_pred=y_pred, y_event=y_test["arrest"]) print(f'C-index {round(c_val, 3)}') ```
