In this work, we discuss what we refer to as reduction techniques for survival analysis, that is, techniques that "reduce" a survival task to a more common regression or classification task, without ignoring the specifics of survival data.…

A variety of works in the literature strive to uncover the factors associated with survival behaviour. However, the computational tools to provide such information are global models designed to predict if or when a (survival) event will…
