Event-History Analysis: Regression for Longitudinal Event Data

About this programme

This course is an introduction to event-history analysis (also known as survival analysis or intensity regression). Duration data is commonly used to address many research questions in demography, the social sciences, and epidemiology. Examples of such questions include: Which factors influence how long people live, how long they stay unemployed, or when they start a family? This course introduces techniques for analysing such questions and data, and it covers univariate and basic multivariate (regression) methods for the analysis of duration (event-history) data. Students also learn data management skills specific to conducting event-history analysis in Stata. The course is given half-time over a 10-week period. Coursework and examination consist of lectures, research output from demographic studies, and computer-based exercises. The exercises are done with the latest Stata statistical package using data from the European Social Survey. Examination is based on active participation including a short study presentation, computer exercises, and a take-home exam. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities.
