This function allows for calculating model prediction in a unified way.

# S3 method for surv_explainer
predict(object, newdata = NULL, output_type = "survival", times = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

an explainer object - model preprocessed by the explain() function

newdata

data used for the prediction

output_type

character, either "risk", "survival" or "chf" depending on the desired output

times

a numeric vector of times for the survival and cumulative hazard function predictions to be evaluated at. If "output_type == "risk" this argument is ignored, if left NULL then it is extracted from object$times.

...

other arguments, currently ignored

Value

A vector or matrix containing the prediction.

Examples

library(survival)
library(survex)
