A review of survival and machine learning models for real time data.

Survival analysis is a branch of statistics deals to analyze and model the time to event data. To tackle this censoring problem, statistical strategies have been widely explored in the literature. To deal with survival data, traditionally many methods including Nonparametric, Semiparametric, Parametric and Bayesian Models were incorporated. But these methods require some assumptions, but many machine learning techniques (Survival Decision Tree, Survival Random Forest, Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression) are designed to handle survival data and other challenges that may emerge in real-time data. In this paper, the author elaborates significance of these methods for survival data and identified important variables for the specified event for three real time data. Important variables were prioritized using random forest's variable selection methods, and the results were compared to survival approaches. Supervised Machine Learning Methods were applied, and survival analysis was used to validate them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
