R help - Nov 2006 - Measuring the effects of history on event probabilities

This is probably very simple but my brain has frozen over. (I'm trying to
warm it with coffee)

 

I have observations of around 22000 individuals over 13 successive years:
they were either 'interviewed' at time t or 'not interviewed'.

What's the most appropriate function/approach to use to find out the extent
to which individuals' event outcomes are temporally correlated?

 

Thanks,

I haven't seen other replies, so I'll offer a feeble comment:  
It's not clear to me the "events" for which you want to estimate 
probabilities.  If you would still like help from this listserve, I 
suggest you send us a toy example with typical (possibly made up)
"data"
consisting of 5-10 "observations" on 2-4 individuals.  Then tell us
what
you'd like to do in terms of this toy example, possibly including things 
you've tried and why they didn't seem to give you what you wanted. 

      Hope this helps.
