Abstract
BART-Survival is a Python package that allows time-to-event (survival) analyses in discrete-time using the non-parametric machine learning algorithm, Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). BART-Survival combines the performance of the BART algorithm with the complementary data and model formatting required to complete the survival analyses. The library contains a convenient application programming interface (API) that allows a simple approach when using the library for survival analyses, while maintaining capabilities for added complexity when desired. The package is intended for analysts exploring use of flexible non-parametric alternatives to traditional (semi-)parametric survival analyses.
