A 4-week course emphasizing the use of event history analysis and data management of historical databases drawn from European, North American, and Asian populations. Longitudinal data will be employed to construct time-varying covariates and contextual variables for individuals, families, and households. Methodological issues such as censoring and incomplete information will also be addressed.
Application deadline: May 4, 2009
Applications are competitive. Participants will be selected on the basis of their interest in the topical areas, prior methodological training, and potential for research contributions that promote longitudinal analysis. Participants should be familiar with quantitative methods, including regression analysis. Those who need preparation in statistics are advised to attend quantitative courses during the June–July session of the ICPSR Summer Program. A limited number of stipends (between $500 and $2,000 US) will be awarded to cover travel and other expenses. For those admitted to the workshop, no fee will be charged to attend the Longitudinal Analysis in Historical Demography course. Apply on-line at www.icpsr.umich.edu/training/summer/ .
