Résumé	Goodman's association models, especially the row-column (RC) model, analyze the association in a two-way contingency table by representing it as a product of estimated scores for the row categories and scores for the column categories, scaled by an intrinsic association parameter. Introduced by Leo Goodman in 1979, they are log-multiplicative rather than purely log-linear, allowing ordered categories to be assigned data-driven scores and the strength of association to be summarized in a single, interpretable coefficient.	Sequence analysis is a holistic method for studying ordered categorical trajectories — such as month-by-month employment states, family life-course events, or daily activity patterns — by treating each individual's whole sequence as a unit, measuring how dissimilar pairs of sequences are, and grouping them into a typology of characteristic pathways. Introduced to sociology by Andrew Abbott, it shifts attention from isolated transitions to the shape of entire life courses.
