A Solution to the Ecological Inference Problem

Meer over het boek

The ecological inference problem, a long-standing challenge in statistical research, particularly in political science, is addressed with a reliable solution in this book. It explores how to accurately infer individual behaviors from aggregate data, which is often necessary when individual surveys are unavailable or unreliable. This issue also impacts various fields such as public policy, epidemiology, and sociology. Gary King presents a novel method that promises to improve the accuracy of cross-level inferences, overcoming the limitations of existing approaches.
