#APLQuest 2015-02: Write a function that takes a numeric vector and returns the length of the longest streak of positive growth (see https://apl.quest/2015/2/ to test your solution and view ours).

CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington will discuss #partnership and #fertility trajectories, drawing on #data from the 1970 #British #Cohort Study (#BCS70), as part of the #UCL #Quantitative #SocialScience and Centre for #Longitudinal Studies seminar series.

Join us next week, Oct Thursday, 17, 4 pm CET, for the next #SequenceAnalysis webinar! We’ll learn about two social-policy work-in-progress papers from @kunlee.bsky.social on retirement pathways & @mischewu.bsky.social on employment trajectories around childbirth and parental leave policies.

You can find the zoom link to join, as well as the rest of our autumn program here: https://sequenceanalysis.org/webinars/

Matthias Studer et al exploring clustering of pairwise distance matrices (i.e., sequence analysis) of very large datasets (example 180k lifecourses). Bootstrapping, medoids, measures of cluster stability. #Rstats #SequenceAnalysis

I implemented Time-Warp Edit Distance in Stata over 10 years ago. It's also available for R in TraMineR.

Slowly, it's getting use. I decided to write a note on how it compares to Optimal Matching, Hamming distance, and the Longest Common Subsequence measure, and how its stiffness and gap parameters affect it:

Edit: typo in URL

I've updated my SADI repository of #Stata code for life-course sequence analysis to cope with Stata 18.

No major changes, but if you are using Stata 18 it is worth updating:

. net from https://teaching.sociology.ul.ie/sadi
. net install sadi
. net get sadi

Then run distances.do to test.
