Description

The Bell Curve: A Scientific Response to Intelligence, Genes, and Success. This book presents a scientific response to the controversy surrounding the relationships among IQ, genetics, and various social outcomes. Written by a group of statisticians and social scientists, it addresses the statistical models, factor analysis, logistic regression, multiple regression analyses, and causal modelling that underpin the conclusions of The Bell Curve. The 16 chapters provide an overview of the scientific and statistical issues, summarize the material in Herrnstein and Murray's book, and offer reanalyses of data relied upon by the authors. The final chapters consider the implications of this work for American public policy and scientific research.
