Overview

About

Maintained by Anthony DevauxFirst published 2022-09-206 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Based on random forest principle, 'DynForest' is able to include multiple longitudinal predictors to provide individual predictions. Longitudinal predictors are modeled through the random forest. The methodology is fully described for a survival outcome in: Devaux, Helmer, Genuer & Proust-Lima (2023) <doi: 10.1177/09622802231206477>.
