Union Dissolution in the United Kingdom
Abstract: This article uses recent panel data to explore the dynamics of divorce in the United Kingdom. The findings are consistent with the independence hypothesis, but reveal little impact of…
Unified BHPS Work-Life Histories: Combining Multiple Sources into a User-Friendly Format
Longitudinal data is often difficult to use, and continuous histories collected in a panel are a particularly unfriendly case. This paper reports an exercise to re-organise the British Household…
Simulation in Sociology
Simulation has a long and checkered history in areas of substantive interest to sociology, from before Forrester's model of overpopulation to up-to-the-minute approaches based on complexity theory or…
Purification and Characterization of Peroxidase Isoenzymes from Green Peas (Pisum sativum)
Peroxidase isoenzymes were purified from green peas with ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE- and S-Sepharose. Three isoenzymes were identified, one neutral (N) and two cationic (C1, C2). N was…
Class careers as sequences : An optimal matching analysis of work-life histories
The authors apply optimal matching techniques to class careers from age 15 to age 35 for two moderately large samples, as a means of exploring the utility of this sequence-oriented approach for the…
Optimal Matching Analysis and Life-Course Data: The Importance of Duration
The optimal matching (OM) algorithm is widely used for sequence analysis in sociology. It has a natural interpretation for discrete-time sequences but is also widely used for life-history data, which…
SADI: Sequence Analysis Tools for Stata
The SADI package provides tools for sequence analysis, which focuses on the similarity and dissimilarity between categorical time series such as life-course trajectories. SADI‘s main components are…
