Accelerated Failure Time (AFT)

In this video we are going to look at a regression that models the time-to-event directly, called Accelerated Failure Time models (AFT)

Dear David. I want to create generator that will give me the random value - lifespan of healthy human. So we can call it “Gompertz distribution” generator. I need it for learning purpose. So the random lifespan =e^(b0+E). b0= const, E -random value of extremal distribution. Which value of b0 you can recommend? Can you also advise the way for creating extremal distribution generator? I have a ready-made normal distribution generator. It can be used to make an extreme distribution generator. You need to take a sample of size n and take a smaller number from it. Am I right? Which mean and sigma of the normal distribution generator should I take? And what is the sample size to take?

Hi! Really helpfull video, I loved it. However, I still don´t really undertand how the AFT model works. I desperately need to comprehend it because I am doing a proyect about it and I have to finish it in order to finish my degree. Could we contact somehow in order for you to explain me the model? I am Spanish so sorry if there are spelling mistakes. Thank you very much!
