An introductory guide to smoothing techniques, semiparametric estimators, and their related methods, this book describes the methodology via a selection of carefully explained examples and data sets. It also demonstrates the potential of these techniques using detailed empirical examples drawn from the social and political sciences. Each chapter includes exercises and examples and there is a supplementary website containing all the datasets used, as well as computer code, allowing readers to replicate every analysis reported in the book. Includes software for implementing the methods in S-Plus and R.

"The strength of Keele's book is that it offers clear, straightforward explanations of the models, illustrated with social science (primarily political science) applications. Applied social science researchers should be able to incorporate these methods in their own research relatively easily after reading this book." (The Political Methodologist, 2009)
