Abstract

Event history analysis (also known as survival analysis) is a well-established analytical tool in the social sciences and research more broadly, and it is particularly useful when researchers aim to estimate the effect of time-varying variables. Survival analysis is well supported in Stata via numerous built-in commands. In particular, stsplit facilitates breaking the time axis into episodes to include time-varying covariates in the analysis. While stsplit is straightforward to use when the time axis must be split at the point a change occurs in a dichotomous variable, the procedure becomes less intuitive when dealing with polytomous variables.
