Abstract

This paper proposes a “toolbox” approach for analyses of data with a complex structure. In this approach, you use any programming language for preprocessing before statistical analyses. It is an alternative to the “all-in-one” approach in which you use a statistical package to conduct both data processing and statistical analyses. It is efficient to use a full-fledged programming language instead of poor data processing functions of statistical packages. And it is more efficient to utilize “modules” prepared to meet common needs. The paper focuses on the data structure and the object-oriented modules to process occupational history. The author has developed some modules in Perl, and introduces the basic feature of the modules. This paper also includes some programs to make class categories and parson-year data of personal histories. Further details are available from http://www.sal.tohoku.ac.jp/~tsigeto/dredu/.
