Description: Regression analysis is the most frequently employed method in applied statistics, and is in wide use by social scientists. There are many books on regression analysis, but most of them are aimed at statisticians, or are very large, expensive, handbooks that contain far more information, and in greater depth than might be wanted by the average social scientist. Regression Analysis for Social Scientists presents methods of regression analysis in an accessible way, with illustrations and examples for each method. A broad spectrum of methods are included. This book can be used for courses in regression analysis at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels in the social and behavioral sciences. Most of the techniques are explained step-by-step enabling students and researchers to analyze their own data. Examples include data from the social and behavioral sciences as well as biology, making the book useful for readers with biological and biometrical backgrounds.
