Why comparing survival curves between two subgroups may be misleading
We analyse an issue when comparing survival curves between two subgroups. We show that there is a direct relationship between estimates of subgroups' survival at a time point and positive and negative predictive values in the binary classification settings. Our findings present a case where current methods of comparing survival curves between subgroups may be misleading. We think that this ought to be taken into account during the validation of prognostic diagnostic tests that predict two prognostic subgroups for a given disease or treatment, when the validation data set consists of censored data.

Causal Inference for Survival Analysis
In this paper, we propose the use of causal inference techniques for survival function estimation and prediction for subgroups of the data, upto individual units. Tree ensemble methods, specifically random forests were m…
Causal InferenceSurvival AnalysisModel-based recursive partitioning for discrete event times
Model-based recursive partitioning (MOB) is a semi-parametric statistical approach allowing the identification of subgroups that can be combined with a broad range of outcome measures including continuous time-to-event o…
CDS -- Causal Inference with Deep Survival Model and Time-varying Covariates
Causal inference in longitudinal observational health data often requires the accurate estimation of treatment effects on time-to-event outcomes in the presence of time-varying covariates. To tackle this sequential treat…

In many applications, it is important to identify subpopulations that survive longer or shorter than the rest of the population. In medicine, for example, it allows determining which patients benefit from treatment, and …
ADHAM: Additive Deep Hazard Analysis Mixtures for Interpretable Survival Regression
Survival analysis is a fundamental tool for modeling time-to-event outcomes in healthcare. Recent advances have introduced flexible neural network approaches for improved predictive performance. However, most of these mo…
