SCORNET: A novel non-parametric survival curve estimator for the Electronic Health Record

Description

Semi-Supervised Calibration of Risk with Noisy Event Times (SCORNET) is a consistent, non-parametric survival curve estimator that boosts efficiency over existing non-parametric estimators by (1) utilizing unlabeled patients in a semi-supervised fashion, and (2) leveraging information-dense engineered EHR features to maximize unlabeled set imputation precision See Ahuja et al. (2020) BioArxiv for details

Arguments

Delta

Labeled set current status labels (I(T<C))
C

Labeled set censoring times
t0.all

Times at which to estimate survival
C.UL

Unlabeled set censoring times
filter

Labeled set binary filter indicators
filter.UL

Z0.UL

Unlabeled set baseline feature matrix
Zehr

Labeled set EHR-derived feature matrix
Zehr.UL

K

Kernel function (defaults to standard normal)
b

bandwidth (optional)
bexp
