Stat Med. 2006 Jul 30;25(14):2343-64. doi: 10.1002/sim.2579.

Abstract

Examples are given of problems in event history analysis, where several time origins (generating calendar time, age, disease duration, time on study, etc.) are considered simultaneously. The focus is on complex sampling patterns generated around a cross-section. A basic tool is the Lexis diagram.
