Duration analysis in longitudinal studies with ascertainment of information at intermittent followup times and losses to followup
Authors: D. M. Hajducek and J. F. Lawless
Overview
Abstract (English)
We consider the analysis of spell durations observed in event history studies where members of the study panel are seen intermittently. Challenges for analysis arise because losses to followup are frequently related to previous event history, and spells typically overlap more than one observation period. We provide methods of estimation based on inverse probability of censoring weighting for parametric and semiparametric Cox regression models. Selection of panel members through a complex survey design is also addressed, and the methods are illustrated in an analysis of jobless spell durations based on data from the Statistics Canada Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics.
