Overview

About

Maintained by Udaya B. KogalurFirst published 2026-04-242 releasesCRAN page ↗

Random Hazard Forests (RHF) extend Random Survival Forests (RSF) by directly estimating the hazard function and by accommodating time-dependent covariates through counting-process style inputs. The package fits tree ensembles for dynamic survival prediction, returning hazard, cumulative hazard, integrated hazard, and related performance summaries for training and test data. The methods build on Random Survival Forests described by Ishwaran et al. (2008) doi:10.1214/08-AOAS169 and on nonparametric hazard modeling with time-dependent covariates described by Lee et al. (2021) doi:10.1214/20-AOS2028.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

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

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

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-randomforestrhf

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

# 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-randomForestRHF

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-randomForestRHF

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