mlr_learners_surv.svm: Survival Support Vector Machine Learner

In mlr-org/mlr3extralearners: Extra Learners For mlr3

Survival Support Vector Machine Learner

Description

Survival support vector machine. Calls survivalsvm::survivalsvm() from survivalsvm.

Details

Four possible SVMs can be implemented, dependent on the type parameter. These correspond to predicting the survival time via regression (regression), predicting a continuous rank (vanbelle1, vanbelle2), or a hybrid of the two (hybrid). Whichever type is chosen determines how the crank predict type is calculated, but in any case all can be considered a valid continuous ranking.

makediff3 is recommended when using type = "hybrid".

Dictionary

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

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