Today marks the release of scikit-survival 0.21.0. This release features some exciting new features and significant performance improvements: Pointwise confidence intervals for the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Early stopping in GradientBoostingSurvivalAnalysis. Improved performance of fitting SurvivalTree and RandomSurvivalForest. Reduced memory footprint of concordance_index_censored. Pointwise…
I’m pleased to announce the release of scikit-survival 0.18.0, which adds support for scikit-learn 1.1. In addition, this release adds the return_array argument to all models providing predict_survival_function and predict_cumulative_hazard_function . That means you can now choose, whether you want to have the survival (cumulative hazard function) automatically evaluated at the unique event…
I recently wanted to create a development container for VS Code to develop applications using SYCL based on the CUDA backend of the oneAPI DPC++ (Data Parallel C++) compiler. As I’m running Fedora, it seemed natural to use Podman’s rootless containers instead of Docker for this. This turned out to be more challenging than expected, so I’m going to summarize my setup in this post.…
