В книге представлена поэтапная (пошаговая) процедура анализа историй жизни (life histories) с помощью описательных методов и статистического моделирования, а также используя популярный язык программного обеспечения для статистических расчетов (R). Книга также представляет собой введение в мультистатусный метод анализа наступления события (event history analysis), который представляет собой продолжение анализа выживаемости (survival analysis).
