A nonparametric method for predicting survival probabilities
Klaauw, Bas van der; Vriend, Sandra - 2015
Public programs often use statistical profiling to assess the risk that applicants will become long-term dependent on the program. The literature uses linear probability models and (Cox) proportional hazard models to predict duration outcomes. These either focus on one threshold duration or...

The non-parametric identification of lagged duration dependence
Frijters, Paul - 2000
In this paper, I consider the identification of lagged durationdependence in multiple spells without using the assumtion that there are additionalregressors orthogonal to the individual effects. The non-parametricidentification strategy is applied to the multiple non-employment spells of 2066...
