__init__(self, name=None)

Create a ‘new’ instance of a Multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards model

Parameters:

name : unicode (default=None)

User supplied name.

Returns:

: Model

Examples

Consider the following model trained and tested on the sample data set in frame ‘frame’.

Consider the following frame containing three columns.
