Documentation

Installation

pip install pydts

Quick Start

from pydts.fitters import TwoStagesFitter
from pydts.examples_utils.generate_simulations_data import generate_quick_start_df

patients_df = generate_quick_start_df(n_patients=10000, n_cov=5, d_times=14, j_events=2, pid_col='pid', seed=0)

fitter = TwoStagesFitter()
fitter.fit(df=patients_df.drop(['C', 'T'], axis=1))
fitter.print_summary()

Examples
