Abstract

The event history study refers to the study concerning the patterns of the occurrences of certain events and is often seen in many fields. Among them, two that have seen or used such studies most are probably medical research and social sciences (Allison, 1984; Kalbfleisch and Prentice, 2002; Klein and Moeschberger, 2003; Nelson, 2003; Vermunt, 1997; Yamaguchi, 1991). In medical research, the event under study can be the occurrence of a disease or death, the hospitalization of certain patient, or the occurrence of some infection. In social sciences, examples of the subjects for event history studies include occurrence rates of births, deaths, marriages and divorces in demographic studies, and the employment or unemployment history of certain populations in social studies. In addition to these two, other fields that often see event history studies include reliability studies and tumorigenicity experiments.
