An accessible but rigorous introduction to data analysis that makes good use of real-world examples. The focus in this book on categorical and count data makes it particularly appropriate for social scientists who are often aiming to understand the predictors of social phenomena that cannot be measured numerically.
Anyone willing to learn about regression for the first time, as well as readers already familiar with the topic, can dive straight into this book and will be positively surprised by its clarity and accessibility. It covers everything one has to know when it comes to regression models for categorical and count data. [...] It has very apt examples and a clear style of writing. I think that the author has done a great job of keeping all the explanations as understandable as possible, making them accessible to anyone interested in the topic.
This book succeeds in giving a great outline of a large number of different statistical modelling techniques, with a streamlined narrative that makes essential links between them. Instead of completely separate chapters, the book’s format builds upon the information of different sections to provide the reader with concise yet thorough knowledge of some of the most relevant techniques used in data-driven research.
