arXiv:2606.06393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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. We propose a framework for proper scoring of right-censored survival outcomes based on a simple idea: first, map the predictive distribution through the censoring mechanism, then apply the underlying proper score on the induced observed-data law. This yields localized sco
The continuous advancement in AI and machine learning fields necessitates more robust and accurate evaluation methods for probabilistic models, especially in complex data scenarios like survival analysis.
Improved scoring rules for censored data enhance the reliability and interpretability of AI models in critical applications such as healthcare (e.g., predicting disease progression) where data is often incomplete.
This framework allows for more theoretically sound and accurate evaluation of probabilistic forecasts in situations with right-censored data, enabling better model selection and development.
