Communication-efficient distributed hazard difference estimation for heterogeneous multi-site survival data

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2601. 14609v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-site collaboration can power survival models that no single hospital could fit alone, but privacy rules and protected computing environments block patient-level data sharing and the persistent server connections required by iterative federated methods.

Federated Survival Analysis in Healthcare: A Multi-Model Evaluation on Cross-Institutional Heterogeneous Breast Cancer Data

arXiv:2606. 23871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Survival analysis is central to clinical decision-making, yet reliable time-to-event models require large, diverse cohorts that are rarely available at a single institution, while privacy regulations restrict the centralization of patient data.

Random Hazard Forests

Random Hazard Forests (RHF) is a survival tree ensemble that models how a patient's hazard changes over continuous time as new measurements arrive. RHF directly estimates a nonparametric hazard likelihood for predictable covariate processes, using an efficient working model to guide tree construction and then estimating flexible time‑varying hazards at each terminal node. By routing each tree based on the covariate state immediately before each time point, RHF can handle irregular and asynchronous covariate updates, and averaging across trees yields a pathwise hazard estimate that accurately captures changing risk in simulations and an intensive‑care application.
