What is Survival Analysis?

**Survival Analysis** involves estimating when an event of interest, _*T*_
would take place given some features or covariates _*X*_. In statistics
and ML, these scenarios are modelled as regression to estimate the conditional
survival distribution, _P_(_T_>t|_X_).
survival distribution, _*P*_(_T_>t|_X_).
As compared to typical regression problems, Survival Analysis differs in two major ways:

* The Event distribution, _T_ has positive support i.e. _T_[0, ∞).
* The Event distribution, _*T*_ has positive support i.e. _*T*_[0, ∞).
* There is presence of censoring i.e. a large number of instances of data are
lost to follow up.
