Modeling the restricted mean survival time using pseudo-value random forests
利用伪值随机森林建模限制平均生存时间
The restricted mean survival time (RMST) has become a popular measure to summarize event times in longitudinal studies. Defined as the area under the survival function up to a time horizon $τ$ > 0, the RMST can be interpreted as the life expectancy within the time interval [0, $τ$]. In addition to its straightforward interpretation, the RMST also allows for the definition of valid estimands for the causal analysis of treatment contrasts in medical studies. In this work, we…
