Models in Statistical Social Research (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a better understanding of models used in statistical social research.While traditionally understood statistical models relate to data generating processes, this book focuses on analytical models which relate to substantial processes generating social facts. These models are used as a framework for the definition of comparative and dynamic notions of causality.
