PySurvival
What is Pysurvival ?
PySurvival is an open source python package for Survival Analysis modeling - the modeling concept used to analyze or predict when an event is likely to happen. It is built upon the most commonly used machine learning packages such NumPy, SciPy and PyTorch.
PySurvival is compatible with Python 2.7-3.7.

Content
PySurvival provides a very easy way to navigate between theoretical knowledge on Survival Analysis and detailed tutorials on how to conduct a full analysis, build and use a model. Indeed, the package contains:
- 10+ models ranging from the Cox Proportional Hazard model, the Neural Multi-Task Logistic Regression to Random Survival Forest
- Summaries of the theory behind each model as well as API descriptions and examples.
- Tutorials displaying in great details how to perform exploratory data analysis, survival modeling, cross-validation and prediction, for churn modeling and credit risk to name a few.
- Performance metrics to assess the models' abilities like c-index or brier score
- Simple ways to load and save models
- ... and more !
Installation
If you have already installed a working version of gcc, the easiest way to install Pysurvival is using pip
pip install pysurvival
The full description of the installation steps can be found here.
Get Started
Because of its simple API, Pysurvival has been built to provide to best user experience when it comes to modeling. Here's a quick modeling example to get you started:
# Loading the modules
from pysurvival.models.semi_parametric import CoxPHModel
from pysurvival.models.multi_task import LinearMultiTaskModel
from pysurvival.datasets import Dataset
from pysurvival.utils.metrics import concordance_index
# Loading and splitting a simple example into train/test sets
X_train, T_train, E_train, X_test, T_test, E_test = \
Dataset('simple_example').load_train_test()
# Building a CoxPH model
coxph_model = CoxPHModel()
coxph_model.fit(X=X_train, T=T_train, E=E_train, init_method='he_uniform',
l2_reg = 1e-4, lr = .4, tol = 1e-4)
# Building a MTLR model
mtlr = LinearMultiTaskModel()
mtlr.fit(X=X_train, T=T_train, E=E_train, init_method = 'glorot_uniform',
optimizer ='adam', lr = 8e-4)
# Checking the model performance
c_index1 = concordance_index(model=coxph_model, X=X_test, T=T_test, E=E_test )
print("CoxPH model c-index = {:.2f}".format(c_index1))
c_index2 = concordance_index(model=mtlr, X=X_test, T=T_test, E=E_test )
print("MTLR model c-index = {:.2f}".format(c_index2))
