An introductory textbook on data analysis and statistics written especially for students in the social sciences and allied fields
Quantitative analysis is an increasingly essential skill for social science research, yet students in the social sciences and related areas typically receive little training in it-or if they do, they usually end up in statistics classes that offer few insights into their field. This textbook is a practical introduction to data analysis and statistics written especially for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the social sciences and allied fields, such as economics, sociology, public policy, and data science.
Quantitative Social Science engages directly with empirical analysis, showing students how to analyze data using the R programming language and to interpret the results-it encourages hands-on learning, not paper-and-pencil statistics. More than forty data sets taken directly from leading quantitative social science research illustrate how data analysis can be used to answer important questions about society and human behavior.
Proven in the classroom, this one-of-a-kind textbook features numerous additional data analysis exercises and interactive R programming exercises, and also comes with supplementary teaching materials for instructors.
Looking for a more accessible introduction? Consider Data Analysis for Social Science by Elena Llaudet and Kosuke Imai, which teaches from scratch and step-by-step the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference. It covers descriptive statistics, the difference-in-means estimator, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression.
