***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Hi Rick, If I understand well what you're interested in doing, it may not be too far from the recent work of Butts & Pixley on a graph-theoretic(structural) model of event history data: Butts, C.T., & Pixley, J.E. (2004). A structural approach to the representation of life history data. Journal of Mathematical Sociology, vol. 28, pp. 81-124. I think the paper is available online at Carter Butts' site but I'm not so sure. Otherwise google it unless you have access to ScienceDirect where I think JMS is stored.
