From Whether to When: New Methods for Studying Student Dropout and Teacher Attrition.
Willett, John B.; Singer, Judith D.
Review of Educational Research, v61 n4 p407-50 Win 1991

Using examples from teacher attrition and student dropout research, survival methods are introduced for building statistical models of the risk of event occurrence over time. (Author/SLD)
