Hello, Langzeng, I am very interested in your tdCoxSNN. There is a time-dependent in the naming of this model. I want to ask where this time-dependent is reflected? I look forward to your reply!

Hi, sorry for my late response. The word "time-dependent" highlights the ability of the proposed model to learn the effect of longitudinal predictors on the survival outcome. You can check [1] for more information.
