Examples include: survival rates of patients in medical studies, unemployment periods in economic studies, or the period of time it takes a criminal to break the law after his release in a criminological study. The authors illustrate the entire research path required in the application of event-history analysis, from the initial problems of recording event-oriented data to the specific questions of data organization, to the concrete application of available program packages and the interpretation of the obtained results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvent History Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * makes didactically accessible the inclusion of covariates in semi-parametric and parametric regression models based upon concrete examples \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * presents the unabbreviated close relationship underlying statistical theory \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * details parameter-free methods of analysis of event-history data and the possibilities of their graphical presentation \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * discusses specific problems of multi-state and multi-episode models \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * introduces time-varying covariates and the question of unobserved population heterogeneity \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e * demonstrates, through examples, how to implement hypotheses tests and how to choose the right model.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237621522583,"sku":"9781138969179","price":2884.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138969179.webp?v=1769217089","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/event-history-analysis-statistical-theory-and-application-in-the-social-sciences-9781138969179","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
