Recently Goswami et al. <cit.> introduced two novel implementations of combined regression strategy to find the conditional survival function. The paper uses regression-based weak learners and provides an alternative version of the combined regression strategy (COBRA) ensemble using the Integrated Brier Score to predict conditional survival function. We create a novel predictor based on a weighted version of all machine predictions taking weights as a specific function of normalized Integrated Brier Score. We use two different norms (Frobenius and Sup norm) to extract the proximity points in the algorithm. Our implementations consider right-censored data too. We illustrate the proposed algorithms through some real-life data analysis.
