Event history using SPSS

This page contains examples from the book "Techniques of Event History Modeling. New Approaches to Causal Analysis", by Hans-Peter Blossfeld and Götz Rohwer, published in 1995 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Note that the TDA (Transition Data Analysis) program used in the book has been greatly improved and expanded since the book was published. See http://www.stat.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/tda.html for the most recent version of TDA.
