mlr3proba 0.4.1 2021-09-07

  • Remove mlr3extralearners from Suggests
  • Add response to as_prediction_surv
  • Now exported a couple cpp functions and assert_surv
  • mlr3 is now in Depends not imports
  • distr predictions are now internally stored as matrices to significantly reduce prediction object sizes
  • Tasks now support strata property

mlr3proba 0.4.0 2021-04-18

  • Deprecated measures from 0.2.0 have now been deleted.
  • IPCW measures such as surv.graf, surv.schmid, and surv.intlogloss now allow training data to be passed to the score function with task and train_set to allow the censoring distribution to be estimated on the training data. This is automatically applied for resample and benchmark results.
  • IPCW measures such as surv.graf, surv.schmid, and surv.intlogloss now include a parameter proper to determine what weighting scheme should be applied by the estimated censoring distribution, The current method (Graf, 1999) proper = FALSE, weights observations either by their event time or ‘current’ time depending if they’re dead or not, the new method proper = TRUE weights observations by event time. The proper = TRUE method is strictly proper when censoring and survival times are independent and G is estimated on large enough data. The proper = FALSE method is never proper. The default is currently proper = FALSE to enable backward compatibility, this will be changed to proper = TRUE in v0.6.0.
  • The rm_cens parameter in surv.logloss has been deprecated in favour of IPCW. rm_cens will be removed in v0.6.0. If rm_cens or IPCW are TRUE then censored observations are removed and the score is weighted by an estimate of the censoring distribution at individual event times. Otherwise if rm_cens and IPCW are FALSE then no deletion or weighting takes place. The IPCW = TRUE method is strictly proper when censoring and survival times are independent and G is estimated on large enough data. The ipcw = FALSE method is never proper.
  • Add surv.dcalib for the D-Calibration measure from Haider et al. (2020).

mlr3proba 0.3.2 2021-03-15

  • Patched bug causing "interval2" task type not to work
  • Fixed bug causing pipelines not to function correctly in $aggregate

mlr3proba 0.3.1 2021-02-03

  • Reverted removal of "interval2"

mlr3proba 0.3.0 2021-02-02

  • Commonly used survival quantities have been added as active bindings to TaskSurv including times (observed survival times), status (observed survival indicator), unique_times (set of sorted unique outcome times), unique_event_times (set of sorted unique failure times), risk_set (set of observations alive ‘just before’ a given time)
  • "interval2" censoring type has been removed from TaskSurv as this is covered by the other types
  • Default values have now been given to the time and event arguments in TaskSurv
  • PredictionDens can now include distr return type (equivalent to learner$model)

mlr3proba 0.2.6 2020-12-04

  • Minor internal fixes

mlr3proba 0.2.5 2020-11-18

  • PipeOpCrankCompositor updated to fix bottleneck in computation via mean. Now Inf or NA is replaced by 0 for response and imputed with the median for crank
  • Bug in distr predict types fixed that lead to fitting degenerate distributions and returning incorrect values for mean survival time and crank

mlr3proba 0.2.4 2020-11-11

  • CRITICAL BUG FIX - compose_crank was previously returning ranks with the reverse ordering so that higher ranks implied higher risk not lower.

mlr3proba 0.2.3 2020-11-01

  • All learners that previously lived in the mlr3learners organisation are now in the mlr3extralearners repository.
  • Fixed bottleneck in MeasureSurvLogloss
  • Bugfix in MeasureSurvCalibrationAlpha
  • Patch for valgrind
  • TaskDens now inherits from TaskUnsupervised which means target/truth has been removed. No specification of a target column is required, instead a one-column matrix-like object or numeric vector should be passed to the task backend and the density will be estimated for this column, or two columns and one set as weight.
  • Fixed bug in load_eruption to fix name of data columns
  • Added calibration plot for comparing average predicted survival distribution to Kaplan-Meier to mlr3viz
  • Removed unneccessary pracma dependency in learners
  • Fix in PipeOpDistrCompositor, previously base distribution was only using the first predicted distribution, now the baseline is taken by averaging over all predictions with uniform weights

mlr3proba 0.2.2 2020-09-23

  • Default kernel for LearnerDensityKDE is now Epan to reduce imports
  • Minor internal patches for mlr3 0.6.0
  • Bug fix in MeasureSurvCalibrationBeta now returns NA not error if lp predict type not available

mlr3proba 0.2.1 2020-08-28

  • Removed PredictionRegr causing masking issues with mlr3
  • Bug fix in PipeOpDistrCompositor causing some cdf predictions to be lost
  • Internal fixes for mlr3pipelines: public train and predict methods to private
  • Added four datasets and tasks: grace, actg, gbcs, whas
  • Add overwrite to crankcompositor pipeop and pipeline
  • Bug fix in surv.kaplan crank prediction
