![]() | Event History Analysis with R Subjects: Behavioral Sciences; Mathematics & Statistics; Social Sciences; Statistics & Probability; Psychological Science; Sociology & Social Policy; Psychological Methods & Statistics; Statistics; Social Policy; With an emphasis on social science applications, Event History Analysis with R, Second Edition, presents an introduction to survival and event history analysis using real-life examples. Since publication of the first edition, focus in the field has gradually shifted towards the analysis of large and complex datasets. This has led to new ways of tabulating and analysing tabulated data with the same precision and power as that of an analysis of the full data set. Tabulation also makes it possible to share sensitive data with others without violating integrity. The new edition extends on the content of the first by both improving on already given methods and introducing new methods. There are two new chapters, Explanatory Variables and Regression, and Register- Based Survival Data Models. The book has been restructured to improve the flow, and there are significant updates to the computing in the supporting R package. Features * Introduction to survival and event history analysis and how to solve problems with incomplete data This substantial update to this popular book remains an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners Göran Broström is professor emeritus of Statistics at the Centre for Demographic and Ageing Research, Umeå University. He has a PhD in mathematical statistics from Umeå University (1979). He is the author of two R packages, eha and glmmML, available on CRAN. |
