Publisher Description Political Analysis offers a comprehensive introduction to the use of statistics in political science. It is an instructive, helpful, and entertaining guide to the most common and up-to-date techniques used by political scientists and non-academic policy researchers alike. Following a detailed introduction of the scientific method and elements central to a successful research design, Political Analysis covers descriptive and inferential statistical techniques up to categorical dependent variable models, with additional sections outlining potential next steps. This textbook is set apart from others in four key areas:* First, statistical concepts, techniques, and terminology are presented with a focus on student conceptual comprehension. Each chapter builds from an intuitive, easy-to-grasp description of the topic and moves toward a fuller more technical discussion that facilitates cumulative and clearer student understanding as well as longer retention. * Second, examples and activities in the book draw from the field of Comparative Politics and includes topics more relevant to non-American political science students interests. Exercises and examples come from a wide range of political science topics in different geographic areas. This does not necessarily exclude an American audience but rather orients topics and examples toward a non-US audience.* Third, Political Analysis is not designed for any one statistical program. This increases flexibility for instructor preferences and underpins conceptual comprehension focusing more the intuition of statistics and less on computational skills. * Finally, Political Analysis has been designed to minimize its impact on the environment. It is both more compact and more online. Students who use this book should gain a comprehensive understanding of the logic and intuition of the most common statistical techniques found in the social sciences, a clear understanding of the applicability of statistics to various types of data and questions, and the ability to independently select the most appropriate statistical techniques and correctly interpret the results.
