Event History Modeling A Guide for Social Scientists

Event History Modeling provides an accessible, up-to-date guide to event history analysis for researchers and advanced students in the social sciences. The authors explain the foundational principles of event-history analysis, and analyse numerous examples which they estimate and interpret using standard statistical packages, such as STATA and S-Plus. They review recent and critical innovations in diagnostics, including testing the proportional hazards assumption, identifying outliers, and assessing model fit. They also discuss common problems encountered with time-to-event data, and make recommendations regarding the implementation of duration modeling methods.Box-Steffensmeier, Janet M. is the author of 'Event History Modeling A Guide for Social Scientists', published 2004 under ISBN 9780521546737 and ISBN 0521546737.
