    Post-Conference Workshop on 

    Sequence Analysis and Time Use Data

     

    Sciences Po

    Optimal matching analysis (OM) is a family of dissimilarity measures adapted to sequence data. Introduced in the social sciences in the 1980s by Andrew Abbott and colleagues, OM has been increasingly used in the social sciences since then to build empirical typologies of longitudinal data. In the field of time use research, OM can be used to study the timing of everyday activities. OM is available as a library (TraMineR) of R, a free and open source statistical package. At the end of the workshop, participants should be familial with OM and be able to apply it to their data using R. This workshop is led by Laurent Lesnard and Thibaut de Saint Pol.
