Overview

About

Maintained by Yue LyuFirst published 2026-03-263 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements a Super Learner framework for right-censored survival data. The package fits convex combinations of parametric, semiparametric, and machine learning survival learners by minimizing cross-validated risk using inverse probability of censoring weighting (IPCW). It provides tools for automated hyperparameter grid search, high-dimensional variable screening, and evaluation of prediction performance using metrics such as the Brier score, Uno's C-index, and time-dependent area under the curve (AUC). Additional utilities support model interpretation for survival ensembles, including Shapley additive explanations (SHAP), and estimation of covariate-adjusted restricted mean survival time (RMST) contrasts. The methodology is related to treatment-specific survival curve estimation using machine learning described by Westling et al. (2024) doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2205060, and the unified ensemble framework described in Lyu et al. (2026) doi:10.64898/2026.03.11.711010.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("SuperSurv", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("yuelyu21/SuperSurv")

Development version from yuelyu21/SuperSurv. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-supersurv

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-SuperSurv

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
