In mlr-org/mlr3extralearners: Extra Learners For mlr3

Boosted Generalized Additive Survival Learner

Description

Fits a generalized additive survival model using a boosting algorithm. Calls mboost::gamboost() from mboost.

Details

distr prediction made by mboost::survFit().

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("surv.gamboost")
lrn("surv.gamboost")
