Is it suitable for survival data?

[bbb801]

Dear Sir or Madam,

May I know if the package can be used for survival data with survival time and event?

Thank you!

No the package is not directly applicable to survival analysis, the main focus is imputation of missing values.

Thank you! What I mean is missing values in survival data (time-to-event).

[felixbiessmann]

If you can cast the problem as a standard supervised learning problem where some of the time-to-event data are the missing values and you have observed some time-to-event data, then it could make sense to use datawig (or any other supervised learning / auto-ml package).

But if you would like to do a survival analysis, where you fit a parametric distribution and then interpret the parameters, then other libraries would be better.
