Description

Quantitative Methods in the Humanities: An Introduction is a comprehensive guide to applying quantitative methods in historical research. Written for students and scholars across various disciplines, this accessible book introduces readers to powerful tools for analyzing data from historical sources. The authors provide detailed advice on building datasets and categorizing them according to specific research questions, using examples from social, political, economic, and cultural history. The book covers a range of methods, including sampling, cross-tabulations, statistical tests, regression, factor analysis, network analysis, sequence analysis, event history analysis, geographical information systems, text analysis, and visualization. By presenting these techniques in plain language, the authors make quantification accessible to those without prior expertise in "big data" or digital humanities. This book will be invaluable to historians, humanists, and social scientists looking for a non-technical introduction to quantitative methods.
