Survival stacking: casting survival analysis as a classification problem

Erin Craig, Chenyang Zhong, Robert Tibshirani

While there are many well-developed data science methods for classification and regression, there are relatively few methods for working with right-censored data. Here, we present…

Stochastic symplectic ice

Chenyang Zhong

In this paper, we construct solvable ice models (six-vertex models) with stochastic weights and U-turn right boundary, which we term ``stochastic symplectic ice''. The models consi…

Survival analysis as a classification problem

Chenyang Zhong, Robert Tibshirani

In this paper, we explore a method for treating survival analysis as a classification problem. The method uses a "stacking" idea that collects the features and outcomes of the surv…
