predict.nn.time: Prediction from a Survival Neural Network

Description

Predict the survival of new observations based on a neural network estimated by using nn.time.

Usage

# S3 method for nn.time
predict(object, ..., newdata, newtimes)

Value

times

A vector of numeric values with the times of the predictions.

predictions

A matrix with the predictions of survivals of each subject (lines) for each observed times (columns).

Arguments

object

An object returned by the function nn.time.

...

Further arguments passed.

newdata

An optional data frame containing covariate values at which to produce predicted values. There must be a column for every covariate included in cov.quanti and cov.quali included in the training sample. The default value isNULL, the predicted values are computed for the subjects of the training sample.

newtimes

The times at which to produce predicted values. The default value isNULL, the predicted values are computed for the observed times in the training data frame.
