Event History Analysis with Harmonized Histories.
We're pleased to share that new training materials developed by Dr Bernice Kuang (University of Southampton) are now available on the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) website, offering a practical introduction to event history analysis using Harmonized Histories and GGS data.
The training materials include:
- A guided tour of the UK GGS and how it is transformed into the Harmonized Histories, and information on where to find and download this data
- A practical tutorial on how to conduct an event history analysis using STATA, demonstrating both non-parametric and parametric event history models, including:
- Step-by-step guidance on defining risk periods
- STATA commands to plot survival time data
- How to apply the Kaplan-Meier approach and cumulative hazard plots to visualize differences in timing across groups
- A practical tutorial to competing risks models, demonstrating:
- How to prepare data for event history analysis with a competing risks framework (where more than one outcome may occur)
- How to restructure the dataset into a person-year format
- How to then apply multinomial logistic regression to conduct discrete-time hazard modelling
These are provided in video format with downloadable slides, transcripts, and worksheets, and suggested further reading is also provided for those looking to explore the method in more depth.
