Cross-classification tables may be created for one or more “cohorts”— groups of observations defined by a common event such as the year of one’s birth, graduation, employment, marriage, disease diagnosis or incarceration—and assessed at two or more points in time on one or more variables reflecting the substantive focus of the study. This article demonstrates exploratory maximum-accuracy evaluation of cohort, aging, and time effects for a standard cohort table.
