Table 4.

The estimated one-year and three-year restricted mean treatment effect (in days) with 95% confidence intervals (in parenthesis) and the stacking weights by center volume [ie., α^k(a)] for each survival model in the lung transplant example. The stacked model includes random survival forests (RSF).
