Computing the one-sided/two-sided integrated/maximally selected EL statistics for simultaneous testing, the one-sided/two-sided EL tests for pointwise testing, and an initial test that precedes one-sided testing to exclude the possibility of crossings or alternative orderings among the survival functions.

Provides predictive accuracy tools to evaluate time-to-event survival models. This includes calculating the concordance probability estimate that incorporates the follow-up time for a particular study developed by Devlin, Gonen, Heller (2020)<doi:10.1007/s10985-020-09503-3>. It also evaluates the concordance probability estimate for nested Cox proportional hazards models using a projection-based approach by Heller and Devlin (under review).

Survival analysis models are commonly used in medicine and other areas. Many of them
    are too complex to be interpreted by human. Exploration and explanation is needed, but
    standard methods do not give a broad enough picture. 'survex' provides easy-to-apply
    methods for explaining survival models, both complex black-boxes and simpler statistical models.
    They include methods specific to survival analysis such as SurvSHAP(t) introduced in Krzyzinski et al., (2023)
    <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2022.110234>, SurvLIME described in Kovalev et al., (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.knosys.2020.106164> as well as
    extensions of existing ones described in Biecek et al., (2021) <doi:10.1201/9780429027192>.

It computes Relative survival, AER and SMR based on French death rates.

Survival analysis using a flexible Bayesian model for individual-level right-censored data, optionally combined with aggregate data on counts of survivors in different periods of time. An M-spline is used to describe the hazard function, with a prior on the coefficients that controls over-fitting. Proportional hazards or flexible non-proportional hazards models can be used to relate survival to predictors. Additive hazards (relative survival) models, waning treatment effects, and mixture cure models are also supported. Priors can be customised and calibrated to substantive beliefs. Posterior distributions are estimated using 'Stan', and outputs are arranged in a tidy format. See Jackson (2023) <doi:10.1186/s12874-023-02094-1>.
