Abstract

Multistate models are an appropriate choice when analysing partnership trajectories over time. Building a correct model for these trajectories involves a series of non-trivial modelling decisions which can be automated in a data-driven way by using statistical boosting. Here, we use boosted multistate models to study partnership trajectories in Germany.
