| Summary: | In this research, we introduce an enhanced sampling methodology for the recruitment of subjects in survival analysis. This approach incorporates Moving Extreme Ranked Set Sampling and Ranked Set Sampling schemes, employing a ranking based on survival time during the initial phase of a two-phase evaluation. The study focuses on assessing the prognostic value of new biomarkers on a time-to-event parameter using a Cox-weighted model, where the inverse of empirical inclusion determines weights. A comprehensive simulation-based analysis underscores the efficacy of this sampling plan, revealing a more potent testing procedure and efficient estimation of hazard ratios compared to conventional methods such as simple random sampling (SRS) and other existing sampling schemes. |
