PipeOpPredClassifSurvDiscTime

Transform PredictionClassif to PredictionSurv by converting event probabilities of a pseudo status variable (discrete time hazards) to survival probabilities using the product rule (Tutz et al. 2016):

$$P_k = p_k\cdot ... \cdot p_1$$

Where:

• We assume that continuous time is divided into time intervals \([0, t_1), [t_1, t_2), ..., [t_n, \infty)\)

• \(P_k = P(T > t_k)\) is the survival probability at time \(t_k\)

• \(h_k\) is the discrete-time hazard (classifier prediction), i.e. the conditional probability for an event in the \(k\)-interval.

• \(p_k = 1 - h_k = P(T \ge t_k | T \ge t_{k-1})\)

Dictionary

This PipeOp can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr3pipelines::mlr_pipeops or with the associated sugar function mlr3pipelines::po():

PipeOpPredClassifSurvDiscTime$new()
mlr_pipeops$get("trafopred_classifsurv_disctime")
po("trafopred_classifsurv_disctime")

Input and Output Channels

The input is a PredictionClassif and a data.table with the transformed data both generated by PipeOpTaskSurvClassifDiscTime. The output is the input PredictionClassif transformed to a PredictionSurv. Only works during prediction phase.
