Description
Data Analysis for Social Science: A Friendly and Practical Introduction provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical concepts and programming skills needed for social scientific studies. This textbook assumes no prior knowledge of statistics or coding, teaching the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference while analyzing data from published studies using R. The book progresses by solving one kind of problem after another, introducing methods as needed. It starts with estimating causal effects with randomized experiments, visualizing and summarizing data, inferring population characteristics, predicting outcomes, estimating causal effects with observational data, and finally generalizing from sample to population. This unconventional order engages students by demonstrating how data analysis can be used to answer interesting questions. A step-by-step guide to analyzing real-world data using R is provided, making it easy for everyone to use this powerful, open-source statistical program.
