- Measurement, theory of probability, bivariate statistics. Multiple regression analyses of sociological data.
- Class Description:
- This course is designed for the first-year sociology graduate students. After a review of study design, descriptive statistics, and bivariate analysis in the first five weeks, the rest of the class is devoted to regression models and techniques. Grading is based on twelve weekly exercises, a midterm exam, and a term paper reporting a multiple regression analysis of social science data on a topic of student's own choice. Labs are organized to help students with the data analyses required to complete the weekly exercises and the term paper. Each student is to make a short, ungraded oral presentation of his or her term paper outline at the last class meeting of the semester. After taking this course, all students are expected to understand and to be able to evaluate statistical results up to the level of regression models as reported in major sociology journals today, and will be ready to take courses of advanced social statistics.
