This webinar introduced me to the new Python package sequenzo! Like many in the SA community, I currently only use R for my analyses. I tried to harness sequenzo's power from within R and put together a small tutorial that might be interesting for R users: sa-book.github.io/bonus_sequen...

Need guidance on creating nice sequence plots?

📗 For #TraMineR and #ggseqplot examples, see the tutorials on our book’s companion site (esp. Ch. 2 & 5): sa-book.github.io

Back from #PAA. Saw many sequence analysis applications — not all with great visualization.

No need to overcomplicate: #TraMineR (base R) and #ggseqplot (CRAN update just out) offer solid tools for clear, appealing sequence data viz. @seqanalysisassn.bsky.social @popassocamerica.bsky.social

📣 new #article

Housing cost burden of migrants and natives across the income distribution.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Key findings
▪️ rent burden is distributed increasingly unequal
▪️ the polarization is more pronounced among migrants
▪️ migrants faced steeper rent hikes than natives

Share on social media
Figure 1. Rent change, income change, and rent-income ratios at the bottom and top quintiles of the income distribution.

Note: The second, third, and fourth quintiles are omitted. All measures are adjusted to adult equivalents with the new Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development scale. Monetary values are adjusted for inflation.

In our paper, we adapt @joannapepin.bsky.social's visualization of U.S. couples' money arrangements to the German context. Using German Family Panel data, we show how these arrangements vary by cohort and age group. Replication files + high-res plot: github.com/maraab23/Cou... #FReDA #pairfam

A plot illustrating cohort and age group differences in partnership and money arrangements among couples in Germany using data from the German Family Panel. The weighted distributions are shown as tile plots. Across cohorts, the share of couples that put all money together is decreasing. This is mainly driven by the changed behavior among married couples. Check out the full article for more details: https://doi.org/10.1177/237802312413014
