Provide Initial Guess to Regression Fitters
See original GitHub issueIt would be great to be able to provide an initial guess point (warm-start) to the regression fitters, such as WeibullAFTFitter. I’m referring to this line:
I’ve been comparing this particular fitter to R’s survreg, and for some datasets, their solutions don’t agree at all. I’d like to provide the same initial values to both codes and hopefully get the same solution.

That could be done. It’s just that I wanted to compare the AFT fitter with survreg. 😃 I have other tests with covariates as well.
woohoo! Thanks for reporting back!
