Survival estimation through the cumulative hazard with monotone natural cubic splines using convex optimization-the HCNS approach

•A new spline-based method for estimating survival curves that allows for censoring and covariates is presented along with a fully automated software. Estimation and inferences outperform traditional methods such as the Kaplan Meier and the Cox Model in terms of mean integrated squared error as well...
