cenreg 0.1.1

A Python library for censored regression.

The cenreg Package

The Python package cenreg is a repository for probabilistic forecasts such as quantile regression and distribution regression and for censored regression such as survival analysis and interval-censored data analysis.

Features:

• Tree-based models run fast and output accurate predictions.
• Neural network models are implemented both for structured data (e.g., tabular data) and non-structured data (e.g., image data).
• Both models can handle competing risks.
• Both models are based on the (conditional) independence assumption or the non-informative assuption, but they can also handle dependent censoring based on assumed copula.
• Strictly proper scoring rules are implemented to evaluate the discrimination performances of prediction models. The scoring rules can handle right-censored and interval-censored data.
• Binning-free calibration metrics are implemented to evaluate the calibration performances of prediction models. The calibration metrics can handle right-censored and interval-censored data.
