Nonparametric Failure Time Bayesian Additive Regression Trees
Description
Nonparametric Failure Time (NFT) Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART): Time-to-event Machine Learning with Heteroskedastic Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (HBART) and Low Information Omnibus (LIO) Dirichlet Process Mixtures (DPM). An NFT BART model is of the form Y = mu + f(x) + sd(x) E where functions f and sd have BART and HBART priors, respectively, while E is a nonparametric error distribution due to a DPM LIO prior hierarchy. See the following for a description of the model at .
