Lifelines¶
lifelines is a implementation of survival analysis in Python. What benefits does lifelines offer over other survival analysis implementations?
- built on top of Pandas
- internal plotting methods
- simple and intuitive API (designed for humans)
- only does survival analysis (No unnecessary features or second-class implementations)
