Goodness-of-fit tests for the Accelerated Failure Time Model in reliability analysis

Abstract

In present work we study the accelerated failure time model in survival analysis, we focus on finding ways to perform goodness-of-fit tests. We compare those methods with existing tests for the well-known Cox model.

On simulated data, we study the empirical properties of the tests in various cases.
