It's about Time: Using Discrete-Time Survival Analysis to Study Duration and the Timing of Events.

Singer, Judith D.; Willett, John B.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v18 n2 p155-95 Sum 1993

Using longitudinal data on career paths of 3,941 special educators, maximum likelihood estimators are derived for the parameters of a discrete-time hazard model, and it is shown that the model can be fit using standard logistic regression software. Illustrative computer codes from the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) are offered. (SLD)
