Reader Reviews
Often, if we want to examine the effect of some particular event on something we are measuring/observing, we often resort to a simple pre/post test for all of the wrong reasons: it is easy and/or we did not know any better. This short text is a discussion on performing regression analysis when longitudinal events are involved. This text is not a 'how to' book. By 'discussion', I mean that this book really is a discussion. This short book is primarily text where the author uses words, not equations [less than one per page] to discuss events and things that we should consider when examining them using regression analysis. In the text, the author makes a very strong effort to remind us that "censoring" and time-varying explanatory variables are prone to severe bias and the loss of information. The author does an nice job of explaing his points though the use of well-considered examples. The chapters of the book are: 1) Introduction 2) A Discrete-Time Method 3) Parametric Methods for Continuous-Time Data 4) Proportional Hazards and Partial Likelihood 5) Multiple Kinds of Events 6) Repeated Events 7) Change of States 8) Conclusion At the end of the text, there are several appendicies and references listed. One appendix is a listing of computer routines that can be used in this analysis. Though they are rather old now, I did a web search and found that they are still in use.
