Regression With Social Data

Beschreibung

An accessible introduction to the use of regression analysis inthe social sciences Regression with Social Data: Modeling Continuous and LimitedResponse Variables represents the most complete and fullyintegrated coverage of regression modeling currently available forgraduate-level behavioral science students and practitioners.Covering techniques that span the full spectrum of levels ofmeasurement for both continuous and limited response variables, andusing examples taken from such disciplines as sociology,psychology, political science, and public health, the authorsucceeds in demystifying an academically rigorous subject andmaking it accessible to a wider audience. Content includes coverage of: * Logit, probit, scobit, truncated, and censored regressions * Multiple regression with ANOVA and ANCOVA models * Binary and multinomial response models * Poisson, negative binomial, and other regression models forevent-count data * Survival analysis using multistate, multiepisode, andinterval-censored survival models Concepts are reinforced throughout with numerous chapterproblems, exercises, and real data sets. Step-by-step solutionsplus an appendix of mathematical tutorials make even complexproblems accessible to readers with only moderate math skills. Thebook's logical flow, wide applicability, and uniquelycomprehensive coverage make it both an ideal text for a variety ofgraduate course settings and a useful reference for practicingresearchers in the field.

"This book is intended to serve as a text for intermediate-levelsocial science graduate courses on regression and as a referencebook for practicing researchers. I recommend it for both purposes."(Sociological Methods & Research, 2009) "I would have left 'social data' out of the title of thisexcellent book.... The book has value for any statistician for itsinclusion of all possible types of response measurement in a singleregression textbook." (Technometrics, August 2005) "Regression with Social Data includes features desirable of atextbook for classroom use (e.g., datasets, 275 end-of-chapterexercises with partial solutions) but also has the depth andsophistication of a reference book. As a reference book, it isuseful to anyone in statistical consulting or social scienceresearch." (The American Statistician, May 2006)
