scoring-rules-2024

This repository contains the code, data, and results from a simulation study on the properness of scoring rules in survival analysis, alongside related experiments and visualizations.

Check the supplementary HTML report, which summarizes the results and includes reproducibility instructions. It also links code outputs to manuscript figures and tables for clarity.

See also here the R script that contains a numerical evaluation that complements the analytical proof of ISBS improperness.

HTML Report Contents

The report includes:

  • High variability for generated survival and censoring distributions [link]
    (corresponds to Figure 1 in the main manuscript)

  • Appendix D experiment results:

    • Table D1: Empirical violations of properness [link]
    • Table D2: Empirical violations of properness using G(t) [link]
  • Degenerate Model Exploits ISBS Scoring Rule [link]
    A minimal model that outperforms established methods under ISBS, illustrating its vulnerability to gaming.

  • Real-World Benchmark Evaluation [link]
    An exploratory comparison of scoring rules (RCLL, RCLL*, ISBS, C-index, D-calibration) on validation tasks using real-world survival datasets.
