title: Multistate life-tables and regression models.
abstract: "A survey is given of the use of modern statistical techniques in event history analysis, and in particular in the study of multi-state life-tables in demography.  Emphasis is placed on the interplay between partial likelihood and nonparametric maximum likelihood based methods, a) when analysing semi-Markov models or models with repeated spells, and b) in frailty models for unobservable heterogeneity."
