A REST API based on machine learning to predict survival using categorical features

Survival analysis is an area of statistics that deals with the study of the time it takes for an event of interest to occur, usually applying mainstream statistical techniques. The appearance of the Big Data phenomenon and the digitization of medical information lead to the generation of huge amounts of information that require optimal processing. For this, it is necessary to apply new algorithms, such as machine learning techniques. This article introduces a REST API based on machine learning to predict survival using categorical features.
