Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including new developments and publications which have appeared since the publication of the first edition in 1995, this second edition: *gives a comprehensive introductory account of event history modeling techniques and their use in applied research in economics and the social sciences; *demonstrates that event history modeling is a major step forward in causal analysis. To do so the authors show that event history models employ the time-path of changes in states and relate changes in causal variables in the past to changes in discrete outcomes in the future; and *introduces the reader to the computer program Transition Data Analysis (TDA). This software estimates the sort of models most frequently used with longitudinal data, in particular, discrete-time and continuous-time event history data. Techniques of Event History Modeling can serve as a student textbook in the fields of statistics, economics, the social sciences, psychology, and the political sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to bridge the gap between standard textbook models and a range of models where the dynamic structure of the data manifests itself fully. The common denominator of such models is stochastic processes. The authors show how counting processes, martingales, and stochastic integrals fit very nicely with censored data. Beginning with standard analyses such as Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression, the presentation progresses to the additive hazard model and recurrent event data. Stochastic processes are also used as natural models for individual frailty; they allow sensible interpretations of a number of surprising artifacts seen in population data. The stochastic process framework is naturally connected to causality. The authors show how dynamic path analyses can incorporate many modern causality ideas in a framework that takes the time aspect seriously. To make the material accessible to the reader, a large number of practical examples, mainly from medicine, are developed in detail. Stochastic processes are introduced in an intuitive and non-technical manner. The book is aimed at investigators who use event history methods and want a better understanding of the statistical concepts. It is suitable as a textbook for graduate courses in statistics and biostatistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Event History Analysis With Stata provides an introduction to event history modeling techniques using Stata (version 9), a widely used statistical program that provides tools for data analysis. The book emphasizes the usefulness of event history models for causal analysis in the social sciences and the application of continuous-time models. 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 data organization, to applications using the software, to the interpretation of results. The book also demonstrates, through example, how to implement hypotheses tests and how to choose the right model. The strengths and limitations of various techniques are emphasized in each example, along with an introduction to the model, details on how to input data, and the related Stata commands. Each application is accompanied by a brief explanation of the underlying statistical concept. Readers are offered the unique opportunity to easily run and modify all of the book’s application examples on a computer, by visiting the author’s Web site at http://www.uni-bamberg.de/sowi/soziologie-i/eha/. Examples include survival rates of patients in medical studies; unemployment periods in economic studies; and the time it takes a criminal to break the law after his release in a criminological study. This new book supplements Event History Analysis, by Blossfeld et al, and Techniques of Event History Modeling, by Blossfeld and Rohwer, extending on their coverage of practical applications and statistical theory. Intended for researchers in a variety of fields such as statistics, economics, psychology, sociology, and political science, Event History Analysis With Stata also serves as a text, in combination with the authors’ other two books, for courses on event history analysis.

Book excerpt: Drawing on recent "event history" analytical methods from biostatistics, engineering, and sociology, this clear and comprehensive monograph explains how longitudinal data can be used to study the causes of deaths, crimes, wars, and many other human events. Allison shows why ordinary multiple regression is not suited to analyze event history data, and demonstrates how innovative regression - like methods can overcome this problem. He then discusses the particular new methods that social scientists should find useful.

Download or read book Event History Analysis With Stata written by Hans-Peter Blossfeld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, event history analysis can draw on a well-established set of statistical tools for the description and causal analysis of event history data. The second edition of Event History Analysis with Stata provides an updated introduction to event history modeling, along with many instructive Stata examples. Using the latest Stata software, each of these practical examples develops a research question, refers to useful substantive background information, gives a short exposition of the underlying statistical concepts, describes the organization of the input data and the application of the statistical Stata procedures, and assists the reader in performing a substantive interpretation of the obtained results. Emphasising the strengths and limitations of event history model techniques in each field of application, this book demonstrates that event history models provide a useful approach with which to uncover causal relationships or to map out a system of causal relations. It demonstrates how long-term processes can be studied and how changing context information on the micro, meso, and macro levels can be integrated easily into a dynamic analysis of longitudinal data. Event History Analysis with Stata is an invaluable resource for both novice students and researchers who need an introductory textbook and experienced researchers (from sociology, economics, political science, pedagogy, psychology, or demography) who are looking for a practical handbook for their research.

This book was released on 2004-12-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique introduction to the innovative methodology of statisticalflowgraphs This book offers a practical, application-based approach toflowgraph models for time-to-event data. It clearly shows how thisinnovative new methodology can be used to analyze data fromsemi-Markov processes without prior knowledge of stochasticprocesses--opening the door to interesting applications in survivalanalysis and reliability as well as stochastic processes. Unlike other books on multistate time-to-event data, this workemphasizes reliability and not just biostatistics, illustratingeach method with medical and engineering examples. It demonstrateshow flowgraphs bring together applied probability techniques andcombine them with data analysis and statistical methods to answerquestions of practical interest. Bayesian methods of data analysisare emphasized. Coverage includes: * Clear instructions on how to model multistate time-to-event datausing flowgraph models * An emphasis on computation, real data, and Bayesian methods forproblem solving * Real-world examples for analyzing data from stochasticprocesses * The use of flowgraph models to analyze complex stochasticnetworks * Exercise sets to reinforce the practical approach of thisvolume Flowgraph Models for Multistate Time-to-Event Data is an invaluableresource/reference for researchers in biostatistics/survivalanalysis, systems engineering, and in fields that use stochasticprocesses, including anthropology, biology, psychology, computerscience, and engineering.

Download or read book Longitudinal Research with Latent Variables written by Kees van Montfort and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Charles Spearman published his seminal paper on factor analysis in 1904 and Karl Joresk ̈ og replaced the observed variables in an econometric structural equation model by latent factors in 1970, causal modelling by means of latent variables has become the standard in the social and behavioural sciences. Indeed, the central va- ables that social and behavioural theories deal with, can hardly ever be identi?ed as observed variables. Statistical modelling has to take account of measurement - rors and invalidities in the observed variables and so address the underlying latent variables. Moreover, during the past decades it has been widely agreed on that serious causal modelling should be based on longitudinal data. It is especially in the ?eld of longitudinal research and analysis, including panel research, that progress has been made in recent years. Many comprehensive panel data sets as, for example, on human development and voting behaviour have become available for analysis. The number of publications based on longitudinal data has increased immensely. Papers with causal claims based on cross-sectional data only experience rejection just for that reason.

This book was released on 1997-05-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Event history analysisùa method for explaining why some people are more likely to experience a particular event, transition, or change than other peopleùhas been useful in the social sciences for studying the processes of social change. One of the main difficulties, however, in using this technique is that often information is (partially) missing on some of the relevant variables. Author Jeroen K. Vermunt presents a general approach to these missing data problems in event history analysis that is based on the similarities between log-linear, hazard, and event history models. The book begins with a discussion of log-linear, log-rate, and modified path models and methods for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of these models. Vermunt then shows how to incorporate variables with missing information in log-linear models for non-response. In addition, he covers such topics as the main types of hazard models; censoring; the use of time-varying covariates; models for competing risks; multivariate hazard models; and a general approach for dealing with missing data problems, including unobserved heterogeneity, measurement error in the dependent variable, measurement error in the covariate, partially missing information on the dependent variable, and partially observed covariate values.

Book excerpt: This entry introduces event history and survival analysis, a set of methods adapted for data relating to the timing and occurrence of events. It starts with a review of the particularities of this type of data and the main concepts used to describe and model it. It then introduces two mathematical concepts that are the building blocks of survival analysis: the hazard rate and survivor functions. Next, it shows how these two concepts can be used to model time-to-event data. It reviews both discrete and continuous time models. Within continuous time models, three subclasses are discussed: proportional hazard models, accelerated failure time models, and the semiparametric Cox model. Finally, more complex topics such as unobserved heterogeneity, competing risks, and repeated events are briefly introduced.
