Benchmarking

inst/benchmarks/run-benchmark.R reproduces a benchmark of fastgbm against gbm, xgboost, and ranger on six real survival datasets from the biostatlab package (pbc, heart_failure, breast, colon_cancer, crc_mondaca2020, framingham), under an equal-hyperparameter-grid regime with repeated 70/30 train/test splits.

The full write-up, with tables and figures generated directly from these CSVs, is in paper/fastgbm-benchmark.qmd (renders to fastgbm-benchmark.pdf via quarto render). Results are reported honestly (win/loss/tie per dataset), not as a universal superiority claim – see the paper’s Comparative Summary section.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
