Calculate Transition Pattern Metrics — calculate_transition_pattern

Calculates transition pattern metrics including time to next job, contract type changes, and transition frequency measures.

Usage

calculate_transition_pattern_metrics(
  data,
  id_column = "cf",
  period_column = "event_period",
  date_column = "inizio"
)

data: A data.table containing employment records with event identification
id_column: Character. Name of person identifier column. Default: "cf"

avg_time_to_next_job: Average days from job end to next job start
median_time_to_next_job: Median days from job end to next job start
job_search_success_rate: Proportion of unemployment spells ending in employment
contract_type_changes: Number of contract type changes

downward_transitions: Number of transitions to worse contract types
transition_frequency: Number of job transitions per year
employment_continuity_index: Measure of employment continuity
