"Quantitative Data Analysis, by Donald J. Treiman, isa well-written demonstration of how to answer questions usingstatistics. The range of techniques is broad, rangingfrom simple advice for making tables readily readable throughlinear and logistic regression to log-linear and random-effectsmodels... Treiman writes using clear, precise language...Treiman also takes the time and effort to explain how to avoidcommon pitfalls of data analysis... worth a look forthose wanting to see the applications of a wide variety ofstatistical techniques to a variety of problems or for those whoare interested in the thought process behind assessing the resultsof techniques."
