survdnn: Deep Neural Networks for Survival Analysis with R 'torch'

Provides deep learning models for right-censored survival data using the 'torch' backend. Supports multiple loss functions, including Cox partial likelihood, L2-penalized Cox, time-dependent Cox, and accelerated failure time (AFT) loss. Offers a formula-based interface, built-in support for cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, survival curve plotting, and evaluation metrics such as the C-index, Brier score, and integrated Brier score. For methodological details, see Kvamme et al. (2019) <https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v20/18-424.html>. The package is described in El Badisy (2026) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2026-008>.
