Summary by StatsDoge

Non-parametric conditional survival function S(t | X) under right-censoring.

You're looking at a building block — one of the estimators a workflow uses inside its pipeline. You reached it from a workflow step; it's used in 1 workflow (listed below).

⚠️ Unofficial community write-up of a method from grf-labs/grf (pinned at v2.6.1). Not affiliated with the grf-labs authors — this summarizes the public documentation for demonstration. All credit & copyright belong to the original authors (Athey, Tibshirani, Wager, et al.).

What it does

Estimates the conditional survival curve S(t | X) (Kaplan–Meier / Nelson–Aalen within adaptive neighborhoods) for right-censored data.

sf <- survival_forest(X, Y, D)   # Y time, D event indicator
predict(sf)$predictions          # survival curve per unit

Use it for

Baseline survival modelling and as the censoring/nuisance model feeding a causal_survival_forest.
