Best ReSurv model fit. The output is different depending on the machine learning approach that is required for cross-validation. A list containing:
out.cv: data.frame, total output of the cross-validation (all the input parameters combinations).
out.cv.best.oos: data.frame, combination with the best out of sample likelihood.
For XGB the columns in out.cv and out.cv.best.oos are the hyperparameters booster, eta, max_depth, subsample, alpha, lambda, min_child_weight. They also contain the metrics train.lkh, test.lkh, and the computational time time. For NN the columns in out.cv and out.cv.best.oos are the hyperparameters num_layers, optim, activation, lr, xi, eps, tie, batch_size, early_stopping, patience, node train.lkh test.lkh. They also contain the metrics train.lkh, test.lkh, and the computational time time.
