intsurv alternatives
The best intsurv alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 17, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to intsurv? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, intsurv shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About intsurv
A Cox cure-rate model package woke up after four years to simplify its own interface.
intsurv fits Cox cure rate models for right-censored survival data where event status may be uncertain — the case where you cannot tell whether a subject experienced the event or was never susceptible to it. The core has been stable since 2019: cox_cure() and its regularized counterpart cox_cure_net(), plus a weighted concordance index and a data simulator. After more than four years without a release, version 0.3.0 arrived in September 2025 and restructured how those two functions are configured rather than adding capability.
