Hi all,

I've been reading up on parametric survival analysis, especially on accelerated failure time models, and I am having trouble wrapping my head around the family of distributions.

I am aware that there are the exponential/weibull/log-normal/log-logistic distributions. But what I can't seem to find a clear and consistent answer on is which of the following is the one that is actually assumed to follow one of those distributions? Is it the survival time T, the log survival time ln(T), the hazard function h(t), the survival function S(t), or the residuals ε?

Thanks in advance.
