Random Factors in Anova
ISBN: 9780803950900 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) in an experimental design, how can the researcher determine whether to treat a factor as fixed or random? This book provides the reader with the criteria to make the distinction between fixed and random levels among factors, an important decision that directly reflects the purpose of the research. In addition to exploring the varied roles random factors can play in social research, the authors provide a discussion of the statistical analyses required with random factors and give an overview of computer-assisted analysis of random factor designs...

Regression with Dummy Variables
ISBN: 9780803951280 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is often necessary for social scientists to study differences in groups, such as gender or race differences in attitudes, buying behaviour, or socioeconomic characteristics. When the researcher seeks to estimate group differences through the use of independent variables that are qualitative, dummy variables allow the researcher to represent information about group membership in quantitative terms without imposing unrealistic measurement assumptions on the categorical variables. Beginning with the simplest model, Hardy probes the use of dummy variable regression in increasingly complex...

Typologies and Taxonomies: An Introduction to Classification Techniques
ISBN: 9780803952591 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do we group different subjects on a variety of variables? Should we use a classification procedure in which only the concepts are classified (typology), one in which only empirical entities are classified (taxonomy), or a combination of both?
Kenneth D Bailey addresses these questions and shows how classification methods can be used to improve research. Beginning with an exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of classification procedures, the book covers topics such as: clustering procedures including agglomerative and divisive methods; the relationship among various...

Bootstrapping: A Nonparametric Approach to Statistical Inference
ISBN: 9780803953819 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bootstrapping, a computational nonparametric technique for 're-sampling', enables researchers to draw a conclusion about the characteristics of a population strictly from the existing sample rather than by making parametric assumptions about the estimator. Using real data examples from per capita personal income to median preference differences between legislative committee members and the entire legislature, Mooney and Duval discuss how to apply bootstrapping when the underlying sampling distribution of the statistics cannot be assumed normal, as well as when the sampling distribution has no...

Multivariate Tests for Time Series Models
ISBN: 9780803954403 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Which time series test should researchers choose to best describe the interactions among a set of time series variables? Providing guidelines for identifying the appropriate multivariate time series model to use, this book explores the nature and application of these increasingly complex tests. In addition, it covers such topics as: joint stationarity; testing for cointegration; testing for causality; and model order and forecast accuracy. Related models explained include transfer function, vector autoregression and error correction models.

The Models of Similarity and Association
ISBN: 9780803957077 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Clustering and tree models are being widely used in the social and biological sciences to analyze similarity relations. This volume describes how matrices of similarities or associations among entities can be modelled using trees, and explains some of the issues that arise in performing such analyses and interpreting the results correctly. James E Corter distinguishes ultrametric trees from additive trees and discusses how specific aspects of each type of tree can be interpreted through the use of applications as examples. He concludes with a discussion of when tree models might be preferable...

Measurement, Design, and Analysis: An Integrated Approach
ISBN: 9780805810639 / Angielski / Twarda / 840 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to the authors of this volume, any approach to statistics which ignores substantive and measurement issues, and any approach to measurement issues which ignores design and analytic question, fosters a lack of appreciation of the interrelations and interdependencies among the various aspects of the research endeavour. The goal of this text is to help readers become proficient in these aspects of research and their interrelationships, and to use that information in a more integrated manner. In order to help readers learn to apply meaningfully the analytic approaches covered, the...

A Conceptual Introduction To Modeling: Qualitative and Quantitative Perspectives
ISBN: 9780805819380 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When seeking to test specific hypotheses in large data sets, social and behavioural scientists often construct models. Although useful in such situations, many phenomena of interest do not occur in large samples and do not lend themselves to precise measurement. In addition, a focus on hypothesis testing can constrict the potential use of models as organizing devices for emerging patterns - summaries of what we believe we know about the dynamics of situation.
