CR_ResponseCombiner: Competing Risk Response Combiner
In jatherrien/largeRCRF: Large Random Competing Risks Forests

Description Usage Arguments Details Examples

Creates a CompetingRiskResponseCombiner rJava object, which is used internally for constructing a forest. It is used when each tree in the forest is constructed, as it combines response level information (u & delta) into functions such as cumulative incidence curves, cause-specific cumulative hazard functions, and an overall Kaplan-Meier curve. This combination is done for each terminal node for each tree.

1	CR_ResponseCombiner(events)

events

A vector of integers specifying which competing risks event functions should be processed. This should correspond to all of the competing risk events that can occur, from 1 to the largest number.

The user only needs to pass this object into train as the nodeResponseCombiner parameter.

T1 <- rexp(1000)
T2 <- rweibull(1000, 1, 2)
C <- rexp(1000)

u <- round(pmin(T1, T2, C))
# ...

forestCombiner <- CR_ResponseCombiner(1:2) # there are two possible events
