Variable response for survival models

Function variable response calculates the expected output condition on a selected variable.

variable_response(explainer, variable, type = "pdp",
  link = explainer$link, ...)

Arguments

explainer	an object of the class 'surv_explainer'.
variable	a character with variable name.
type	a character - type of the response to be calculated. Currently following options are implemented: 'pdp' for Partial Dependency.
link	a function - a link function that shall be applied to raw model predictions. This will be inherited from the explainer.
...	other parameters

Examples

library(survxai)
library(rms)
data("pbcTest")
data("pbcTrain")
predict_times <- function(model, data, times){
                  prob <- rms::survest(model, data, times = times)$surv
                  return(prob)
                  }
cph_model <- cph(Surv(years, status)~., data=pbcTrain, surv=TRUE, x = TRUE, y=TRUE)
surve_cph <- explain(model = cph_model, data = pbcTest[,-c(1,5)],
             y = Surv(pbcTest$years, pbcTest$status), predict_function = predict_times)
svr_cph <- variable_response(surve_cph, "sex")
