New paper on #UK #children's diverse #family pathways using #sequenceanalysis on @usociety.bsky.social data shows:
* More than 25% of children do not grow up with biological parents
* Children of more educated, Asian, and migrant mothers tend to grow up with married parents

Great energy at the Workshop on Mining Migration Trajectories, hosted by the IUSSP Panel on Lifetime Migration at #IPC2025 !
@iussp.bsky.social

Led by our own @svidal.bsky.social & Juste Lekstyte, it brought hands-on exploration of lifetime migration data using ML techniques #sequenceanalysis

Wow several works using sequence analysis at IPC2025 conference this time!

If you are presenting a poster or talk using SA, tag us! We’d love to help spread the word!

We characterized patterns of diabetes risk progression using #SequenceAnalysis and found evidence of 9 patterns including stable normoglycemia, 5 patterns of impaired fasting glucose that did not progress to diabetes, and 3 patterns of diabetes with onset at younger, middle, and older ages.

Paper 👇🏽

My new paper “Do Birds of a Nest Flock Together?” with the wonderful @yyortiga is finally out in International Migration Review. It's a polyadic #SequenceAnalysis of Filipina domestic workers' migration trajectories.

Glad to see so much interest in #SequenceAnalysis at #SER2025! Link to our didactic paper & some applied papers 👇🏽

ICPSR Summer Program Workshop Announcement: Online! Introduction to Sequence Analysis in the Social Sciences, June 23-27

Learn basic sequence analysis workflow, be able to apply analysis tools to your own research, and learn about the ongoing developments in sequence analysis for self-study in this online workshop. For more details: myumi.ch/ypezb

#SumProg25 #ICPSR #SequenceAnalysis

@raabm.bsky.social and I will teach an online introduction to #SequenceAnalysis in #R at @icpsrsummer.bsky.social in June 23-25, 2025. Info: web.cvent.com/event/ab4981...

Abstract: This article presents the results of the “Jazz Alumni” survey conducted in 2022 on the career beginnings of the musicians who obtained a jazz master’s degree at HEMU—Haute école de musique in French-speaking Switzerland between 2011 and 2017. Based on a mixed-methods diachronic approach, the study included 45 graduates (38 men and 7 women). Like most performing artists, they experience professional instability and are faced with low incomes compared to their level of training. Our study indicates that jazz graduates predominantly rely on teaching to mitigate the risks associated with the precarious nature of their profession, thereby improving their working conditions and generally avoiding non-musical work. Further findings identify two distinct approaches to balancing teaching and performing. Possible explanations for these different career paths include socialization to different national regulatory regimes and gender inequalities.

#SequenceAnalysis is often used to create a typology of trajectories. This typology is then used in regressions to study the association between trajectories and covariates.

By doing so, sampling uncertainty, which affects both the typology and the regressions, is ignored.
