Ensemble model performance over test data. The ensemble model discrimination was evaluated using the AUC metric over the test data for two survival outcomes: (a) Overall Survival (OS) and (b) Recurrence Free Survival (RFS). Comparison is done between a Clinical baseline model using seven clinical covariates: age, hpv status, smoking status, T-category, N-category, therapeutic combination, AJCC staging, and the models including additional model covariates: selected radiomic features (Clinical + rsf/ + cox), and the proposed cluster labels (Clinical + N Clusters). In all cases, the inclusion of the cluster labels outperforms the Clinical model. The models including the cluster labels show comparable performance to the models including a subset of radiomic features while being considerably more parsimonious models.
