Sequence analysis and related approaches : innovative methods and applications

Abstract

This volume provides innovative methods and applications of sequence analysis (SA) to life course and time use data with a focus on the relationship between SA and other methods for longitudinal data. It originated in the International Conference on Sequence Analysis and Related Methods (LaCOSA II) held in Lausanne, 8–10 June, 2016. The 15 articles that, together with the introduction chapter, constitute the book were selected among 25 propositions received in response to a call for papers addressed to the participants and members of the scientific committee of the Conference. The selection was conducted through peer reviewing with each paper being evaluated by at least three reviewers.
