The number of censored observations cand hence the number of uncensored observations n is a random outcome, even if the total sample size, n, is xed. Type ii designs often used in engineering are studies in which a total of n subjects are under observation but, instead of continuing until all subjects fail, the study is terminated when the rth subject fails.
