“…The decade of the 1990s also saw the more widespread application of sequential analytic methods for the quantitative study of patterns of interaction between two people over time, the use of time‐series analyses, and the mathematical modeling of marital interaction. In two landmark papers published in 1993, Griffin (1993a, 1993b) demonstrated an innovative approach for how event history analysis could be applied to the study of insider evaluations of marital interaction. The first paper described the methodology, and the second paper applied it in a study of marital interaction.…”

This article reviews the advances made in the decade of the 1990s in observing marital interaction. Many technological advances in data collection, including synchronization of physiology, behavior, and cognition, and advances in data analysis such as sequential analysis, have yielded new understanding and advances in prediction of marital outcomes. The advances have also included the study of developmental processes, including the transition to parenthood and the study of midlife and older marriages. Central advances have been made in the study of affect and the study of power and in their integration. This advance has included the mathematical modeling of interaction using nonlinear difference equations and the development of typologies. There has been an added focus on health outcomes and the bidirectional effects of marriages on children. There has been an expansion of the study of marital interaction to common comorbid psychopathologies. Most important has been emergent theorizing based on the interaction of behavior, perception, and physiology, as well as their predictive power.Observational research plays a major role in research on marriage, both for purposes of description and for building theories of the mechanisms underlying central phenomena occurring within

In this article we review the advances made in the 20th century in studying marriages. Progress moved from a self-report, personality-based approach to the study of interaction in the 1950s, following the advent of general systems theory. This shift led, beginning in the 1970s, to the rapid development of marital research using a multimethod approach. The development of more sophisticated observational measures in the 1970s followed theorizing about family process that was begun in the decade of the 1950s. New techniques for observation, particularly the study of affect and the merging of synchronized data streams using observational and self-report perceptual data, and the use of sequential and time-series analyses produced new understandings of process and power. Research in the decades of the 1980s and 1990s witnessed the realization of many secular changes in the American family, including the changing role of women, social science's discovery of violence and incest in the family, the beginning of the study of cultural variation in marriages, the expansion of the measurement of marital outcomes to include longevity, health, and physiology (including the immune system), and the study of comorbidities that accompany marital distress. A research agenda for the 21st century is then described.

“…As a rule of thumb, there should be a minimum of 10 failures per covariate. The number of ties is not the total number of ties throughout the study, rather it is the number of failures relative to the number at risk per time interval (Griffin 1993). The asymptotic properties of the estimators of the hazard rate assume that the probability for ties is zero (Griffin 1993, Klein andMoeschberger 2003).…”

“…and Moeschberger 2003, Allison 2014). The semiparametric model makes no assumption about the distribution of the baseline hazard rate, and it assumes a proportional hazard rate over time (Griffin 1993, Klein and Moeschberger 2003, Allison 2014. Each covariate should be tested for proportionality, and violation of the proportional hazard assumption implies an interaction between the covariate and time.…”

“…For example, for long‐lived species, one may have to exclude the most recent cohorts. However, applying event history analyses allows for the inclusion of censored and truncated data, which lowers potential problems with sampling bias and increases statistical power compared to likelihood analyses commonly used by ecologists (Griffin 1993, Klein and Moeschberger 2003, Allison 2014). Generalized linear models and generalized linear mixed models with a Poisson distribution can account for censoring and truncation, such as hurdle models (left truncation and right censoring; Jackman 2017) and Poisson regression models for interval‐censored count data (Watson 2011); however, these models are not the focus of this article.…”

An introduction to event history analyses for ecologists

Efforts to understand the emergence of an event require our ability to measure and understand the dynamics between time in a state (e.g., being alive or a behavior) and the outcome of the state. Studying the main drivers that affect changes in state over time allows researchers to better understand population dynamics and evolutionary processes. Event history analyses provide a range of theoretical and empirical tools to explore the emergence of an event. Their use is still restricted in ecology; however, they are commonly used in human demography. Event history analysis is a powerful tool for measuring the probability that an event occurs at time t. Here, we provide an introductory guide for ecologists who are interested in exploring event history analyses in their research. In the first part of this article, we outline key concepts in event history analyses and present a decision tree, statistical techniques, and their applications to ecological questions. To introduce practical applications of event history analyses, we provide four detailed tutorials, stemming from observational and longitudinal records of events in mammalian and avian species, along with relevant R scripts. We then explain how to interpret and present results of such analyses. Our results show that event history analyses are useful to quantify the effect of factors on the emergence of events. We conclude by highlighting additional strengths, pitfalls, and limitations researchers should be aware of when using such methods. We foresee the use of event history analyses for ecological studies.
