Non-parametric survival modelling of time to employment amongst 09/10 cohort of mathematics graduates

The length of waiting time to employment may be considered as the determinant of the employability of a graduate. Hence, this project aims to study the behaviour of waiting time to employment of mathematics graduates. In particular, this study analyzes the differentials of the factors levels as well...
