Abstract
We describe a statistical method protocol to use a Weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) model to predict time to a health-related event. This prediction method is quite common in engineering reliability research but rarely used for medical predictions such as survival time. A worked example for how to perform the prediction using a published dataset is included.
