Figure 5 describes the Kaplan-Meier survival function of divorce by number of children.

The formula of the Cox proportional hazards model is as follows: log {h}_i(t)=a(t)+beta {x}_i+upgamma {x}_i(t) where h j (t) refers to the divorce hazard of couple i after t years of marriage, and α(t) characterizes the variation of divorce risk in the duration of marriage, that is, the baseline hazard function of divorce.

However, until now, the adaptive function of divorce in schistosomes remained elusive.

4According to population heterogeneity theory, the existence of the subpopulation having no divorce risk seriously interferes with the estimation of the overall divorce risk function; hence, the divorce risk function of divorced couples should substantively differ from the overall divorce risk function.

Fig. 6 Divorce risk function for divorced couples Fig. 7 Divorce risk function for divorced couples by marriage cohort.

Apart from the findings above, discrete time hazard model can conduct a formally statistical test in terms of the shapes of divorce risk functions among different marriage cohorts.
