fastml version 0.7.5

Breaking changes

• Removed incomplete or unstable survival backends where correct, leakage-safe behavior could not be guaranteed.

New features

• Full Survival Analysis Support: Added training, resampling, prediction, metric computation, and model summarization for time-to-event outcomes.
• Guarded Survival Resampling: Introduced a workflow enforcing leakage-safe preprocessing, imputation, and model fitting within each resampling split.
• Integrated Brier Score (IBS): Added IBS and expanded survival metric support with flexible time handling and user-configurable summary outputs.
• New Survival Engines: Added support for parametric and semi-parametric models, including Cox, penalized Cox, Royston–Parmar, and flexible parametric survival models.
• Advanced Resampling Strategies: Implemented grouped, blocked, rolling, stratified, and unbiased nested cross-validation.
• Fold-wise Imputation: Added support for advanced imputation during resampling while preventing outcome leakage.
• Engine Parameters: Introduced an engine_params argument to allow passing engine-specific options in a consistent way.
• S3 Methods: Added explicit S3 method annotations for fastml generics.

Improvements

• Improved robustness of survival predictions, including risk scores, survival probabilities, quantiles, medians, and time estimates.
• Enhanced survival summary outputs with clearer metric alignment and better handling of stratified and time-varying Cox models.
• Improved extraction of predictions and summaries for parametric survival engines.
• Strengthened recipe validation and sandboxing to harden preprocessing isolation and reduce user-induced leakage.
• Improved handling of novel and missing categorical levels during prediction.
• Integrated resampling metadata more tightly into training workflows and summaries.

Bug fixes

• Fixed multiple issues in survival label validation, prediction post-processing, and metric computation.
• Corrected survival risk and probability calculations for several engines and model types.
• Fixed log-rank calculation for time-varying Cox models.
• Fixed summary formatting when confidence intervals are unavailable.
• Removed inappropriate confusion matrix warnings for non-classification tasks.
• Fixed edge cases leading to NA survival predictions and early exits during survival time computation.
• Addressed naming collisions and alignment issues in tuning grids and metric selection.
