Abstract

In this paper we deal with the use of computationally complex methods in the spatial analysis of discrete-time event histories. We present an application to home-leaving data of young Italian adults. The main goal is to explore the spatially-related patterns of behaviour at a relatively fine level, by using a flexible model in conjunction with MCMC inference. We also build maps of the pattern.
