This study examines associations between early career insecurity and subsequent mental health trajectories, focusing on disability status as a key axis of inequality. We use nationally representative longitudinal data from the ...

Georeferenced data are often anonymized for data protection reasons. This is done either by aggregating the data into larger spatial units (e.g., higher-level administrative units or grids with larger cell sizes) or by using stochastic methods to deliberately overlay the original coordinates. These methods significantly distort the data and associated variables, making further modeling steps...

Multiple imputation of missing values in survey data analysis is a state-of-the-art technique. Typically, methods like multivariate imputation by chained equations (mice, van Buuren 2018) are employed, replacing missing values on a variable-by-variable basis. Generally, the information used for imputation comes from the survey dataset being analysed. Valid analysis results are achieved when the...

FAIRness of research data, meaning that data are managed according to the principles of being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, has become a ubiquitous requirement in research data policies as well as in general guidelines for research data management. Meeting this requirement largely depends on the availability of rich and standardized DDI metadata—based on the Data Documentation ...
