Modern Methods of Data Analysis

Meer over het boek

Statistical and methodological errors are fairly universal in all the social sciences. This unique volume investigates the most common errors and how they can be avoided. It identifies and corrects these errors and provides clear statements concerning methodological issues. The problems are grouped into two broad categories: omission, where researchers fail to apply methods ideal to a topic, and commission, where a technique is inappropriately applied. Each article addresses a specific aspect of these problems. This volume encourages further communication between methodological specialists and quantitative researchers and highlights the important relationship between them.
