loss_one_minus_integrated_cd_auc: Calculate integrated C/D AUC loss

In survex: Explainable Machine Learning in Survival Analysis

Calculate integrated C/D AUC loss

Description

This function subtracts integrated the C/D AUC metric from one to obtain a loss function whose lower values indicate better model performance (useful for permutational feature importance)

Usage

loss_one_minus_integrated_cd_auc(
  y_true = NULL,
  risk = NULL,
  surv = NULL,
  times = NULL
)

Arguments

y_true	a survival::Surv object containing the times and statuses of observations for which the metric will be evaluated
risk	ignored, left for compatibility with other metrics
surv	a matrix containing the predicted survival functions for the considered observations, each row represents a single observation, whereas each column one time point
times	a vector of time points at which the survival function was evaluated

Value

numeric from 0 to 1, lower values indicate better performance
