Overview

About

Maintained by Yue LyuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

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)Fedora (COPR)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. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SuperSurv

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# 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). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
