• don't be more precise than necessary (e.g. when methods use unique events times, data is given very precisely, but time scale of interest is very large, e.g. hdfail example)

Ah great issue. Can I also use this to collect FAQs? Like:

• At what time scale should predictions be made at? How many unique time intervals to include? (also hdfail). Relevant Time-dependent C-index bcjaeger/aorsf-bench#6 (comment); Add restriction for unique.death.times imbs-hl/ranger#410 (comment)
• Converting predictions between prediction types (crossref composition section)
• Something about improper predictions and how this affects predictions and measures

yes, definitely!

For which survival tasks does resampling have to be adjusted, e.g.

• recurrent events (by subject or by recurrence)
• stratify wrt competing risks
• ...

@adibender when is this relevant?
