Proper Scoring Rules for Right-Censored Survival Data
arXiv:2606. 06393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Proper scoring rules provide a rigorous theoretical basis for the training and evaluation of probabilistic forecasts.
The paper introduces a high‑dimensional censored MIDAS logistic regression for forecasting corporate distress, addressing right censoring, high‑dimensional mixed‑frequency predictors, and mixed‑frequency data. It uses inverse probability weighting for censoring, a sparse‑group penalty for estimation, and develops a de‑sparsified estimator with asymptotic theory that accounts for censoring and heavy tails. The method is validated via Monte Carlo simulations and applied to Chinese‑listed firms, with implementation available in the R package Survivalml.

Proper scoring rules provide a rigorous theoretical basis for the training and evaluation of probabilistic forecasts. However, in the presence of right censoring, the event time is only partially observed, rendering conventional scoring rules inapplicable in their standard form.

arXiv:2212. 05260v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Proper scoring rules encourage probabilistic predictions that match the true underlying distribution and are central to model evaluation, with increasing relevance in automated workflows such as AutoML.

arXiv:2606. 04564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular foundation models (TFMs) have made rapid progress in standard classification and regression, but time-to-event survival prediction tasks have remained largely untouched.
arXiv:2608. 16864v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In survival analysis the way covariates act on the risk of an event often differs between early and late failure times, yet hazard- and mean-based summaries collapse this variation into a single number.
