  • av Steven R. Brown
    556,-

    Introduces the elements of experimental design and analysis. The text covers such topics as the fundamental concept of variability, hypothesis testing, how ANOVA can be extended to the multi-group situation and random designs.

  • av James A. Davis
    516,-

    This monograph is not statistical. It looks instead at pre-statistical assumptions about dependent variables and causal order. Professor Davis spells out the logical principles that underlie our ideas of causality and explains how to discover causal direction, irrespective of the statistical technique used. He stresses throughout that knowledge of the `real world'' is important and repeatedly challenges the myth that causal problems can be solved by statistical calculations alone.

  • av Roberto Franzosi
    556,-

  • - An Introduction
    av John Fox
    546,-

    Considers the techniques needed for exploring problems that compromise a regression analysis and for determining whether certain assumptions appear reasonable. The text covers such topics as the problem of collinearity in multiple regression, non-normality of errors and non-constant error variance.

  • av Graham Kalton
    546,-

    Reviews the sampling methods used in surveys such as simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratification, cluster and multi-stage sampling, sampling with probability proportional to size, two-phase sampling, replicated sampling, panel designs, and non-probability sampling.

  • - A Mathematical Introduction
    av Damodar N. (West Point Gujarati
    550,-

    Taking the reader step-by-step through the intricacies, theory and practice of regression analysis, Damodar N. Gujarati uses a clear style that doesn't overwhelm the reader with abstract mathematics.

  • av Carol A. (Iowa State University Chapelle
    546,-

    Carol A. Chapelle shows readers how to design validation research for tests of human capacities and performance. Any test that is used to make decisions about people or programs should have undergone extensive research to demonstrate that the scores are actually appropriate for their intended purpose. Argument-Based Validation in Testing and Assessment is intended to help close the gap between theory and practice, by introducing, explaining, and demonstrating how test developers can formulate the overall design for their validation research from an argument-based perspective.

  • - What It Is and How To Do It
    av Jae-On Kim
    556,-

    Describes the mathematical and logical foundations at a level that does not presume advanced mathematical or statistical skills. It illustrates how to do factor analysis with several of the more popular packaged computer programs.

  • av Ramon E. Henkel
    556,-

    An elementary introduction to significance testing, this paper provides a conceptual and logical basis for understanding these tests.

  • av Katrin Auspurg
    546,-

    This book provides a systematic and practical guide for researchers wishing to set up their own factorial survey design or to analyze factorial survey data.

  • - Surveying Sensitive Data
    av James Alan Fox
    546,-

    A fully updated and accessible overview of randomized response

  • av Nigel Gilbert
    520,-

    Aimed at readers with minimal experience in computer programming, this book provides a theoretical and methodological rationale for using ABM in the social sciences. It concludes with practical advice about how to design and create ABM, a discussion of validation procedures, and some guidelines about publishing articles based on ABM.

  • av Wes Bonifay
    546,-

    Several decades of psychometric research have led to the development of sophisticated models for multidimensional test data, and in recent years, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) has become a burgeoning topic in psychological and educational measurement. Considered a cutting-edge statistical technique, the methodology underlying MIRT can be complex, and therefore doesn¿t receive much attention in introductory IRT courses. However author Wes Bonifay shows how MIRT can be understood and applied by anyone with a firm grounding in unidimensional IRT modeling. His volume includes practical examples and illustrations, along with numerous figures and diagrams. Brief snippets of R code are interspersed throughout the text (with the complete R code included on an accompanying website) to guide readers in exploring MIRT models, estimating the model parameters, generating plots, and implementing the various procedures and applications discussed throughout the book.

  • av K . Jill Kiecolt
    556,-

    Secondary analysis has assumed a central position in social science research as existing survey data and statistical computing programmes have become increasingly available. This volume presents strategies for locating survey data and provides a comprehensive guide to US social science data archives, describing several major data files. The book also reviews research designs for secondary analysis.

  • av Douglas A. Luke
    546,-

    A practical introduction to multi-level modelling, this title offers an introduction to HLM and illustrations of how to use this technique to build models for hierarchical and longitudinal data.

  • av C. (Chauncey) Mitchell Dayton

    With empirical examples which are both plentiful and well chosen to teach the technique, this book provides a thorough guide to latent class scaling models for binary response variables.

  • av Paul D. Allison
    546,-

    Drawing on recent "event history" analytical methods from biostatistics, engineering and sociology, this book explains how longitudinal data can be used to study the causes of deaths, crimes, wars, and many other human-related events.

  • av Gregory B. Markus
    556,-

    An introduction to a variety of techniques that may be used in the analysis of data from a panel study -- information obtained from a large number of entities at two or more points in time. The focus of this volume is on analysis rather than problems of sampling or design, and its emphasis is on application rather than theory.

  • av Mark Alexander Pickup
    556,-

    Approaching the topic from the perspective of the social scientist interested in hypothesis-testing, this volume is an introduction to time-series methods and their application in social science research.

  • av Haiyan Bai
    546,-

    A concise, introductory text on propensity score methods that is easy to comprehend by those who have a limited background in statistics, and is practical enough for researchers to quickly generalize and apply the methods.

  • av Robert Philip Weber
    556,-

  • av Lingxin Hao
    546,-

    Quantile Regression establishes the seldom recognized link between inequality studies and quantile regression models. Though separate methodological literatures exist for each subject matter, the authors explore the natural connections between this increasingly sought-after tool and research topics in the social sciences.

  • av Gudmund R. Iversen
    509,-

    Empirical researchers, for whom Iversen's volume provides an introduction, have generally lacked a grounding in the methodology of Bayesian inference. As a result, applications are few. After outlining the limitations of classical statistical inference, the author proceeds through a simple example to explain Bayes' theorem and how it may overcome these limitations. Typical Bayesian applications are shown, together with the strengths and weaknesses of the Bayesian approach. This monograph thus serves as a companion volume for Henkel's Tests of Significance (QASS vol 4).

  • av Mark S. Aldenderfer
    556,-

    Although clustering--the classifying of objects into meaningful sets--is an important procedure, cluster analysis as a multivariate statistical procedure is poorly understood. This volume is an introduction to cluster analysis for professionals, as wel

  • av Glenn Firebaugh
    556,-

    Repeated surveys allow researchers the opportunity to analyze changes in society as a whole. This book includes: a discussion of the classic issue of how to separate cohort, period and age effects; methods for modelling aggregate trends; and methods for estimating cohort replacement's contribution to aggregate trends.

  • av Christopher Z. Mooney
    556,-

    Monte Carlo simulation is a method of evaluating substantive hypotheses and statistical estimators by developing a computer algorithm to simulate a population, drawing multiple samples from this pseudo-population, and evaluating estimates obtained from these samples. This book explains the logic behind the method and demonstrates its uses for research.
