Description

Quantitative Methods in the Humanities: An Introduction is a comprehensive guide to applying quantitative methods in historical research. Written by Claire Lemercier and Claire Zalc, this accessible book introduces students and scholars to the power of quantification in understanding the past. The authors explore a range of techniques, including sampling, cross-tabulations, statistical tests, regression, factor analysis, network analysis, sequence analysis, event history analysis, geographical information systems, text analysis, and visualization. These methods are explained in clear, non-technical terms, making them accessible to those new to quantification. This book is ideal for historians and humanists looking to incorporate quantitative methods into their research, as well as social scientists seeking a straightforward introduction to these techniques.
