Full Description
By emphasizing the underlying logic of statistical analysis for greater understanding and drawing on applications and examples from political science, Understanding Political Science Statistics illustrates how students can apply statistical concepts and techniques in their own research, in future coursework, and simply as an informed consumer of numbers in public discourse. Here, the book is paired with the corresponding manual that walks students through the procedures for analysis in Stata and provides exercises that go hand-in-hand with online data sets.
