Survival data is a type of data that measures the time from a defined starting point until the occurrence of a particular event, such as time to death from small cell lung cancer after diagnosis, Length of time in remission for leukemia patients, Length of stay (i.e., time until discharge) in hospital after surgery. The accelerated failure time (AFT) models are popular linear models for analyzing survival data. It provides a linear relationship between the log of the failure time and covariates that affect the expected failure time by contracting or expanding the time scale. This paper examines the performance of the Rank Set Sampling (RSS) on the AFT models for Progressive Type-II censoring-survival data. The Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a sampling scheme that selects a sample based on a baseline auxiliary variable for assessing survival time. Simulation studies show that this approach provides a more robust testing procedure, and a more efficient hazard ratio estimate than simple random sampling (SRS). The lung cancer survival data are used to demonstrate the method.
