title: [New perspectives in life-event history analysis].
abstract: "In the last decade, life-event history analysis, also called failure time data analysis or survival analysis, has been widely adopted by demographers.  This methodology in demography allows [us] to overcome major hurdles especially when analyzing longitudinal survey data. This paper describes the new perspectives opened to research in that field, and is illustrated by new results and examples of research projects. The authors concentrate on four issues:  the analysis of incorrect and imperfect data, the analysis based on more complex data and lastly the study of interaction between phenomena."
