Where this comes from

Abstract

The risk prediction model for kidney failure and death in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) presented in the linked study is a super learner. A super learner is an algorithm that repeatedly splits the data into training and test sets and then chooses the best performing model from a list of candidate prediction models. This article describes why and how the super learner was implemented in the linked study.
