Recenzii
Dr Williams’ book is an excellent and scary-free introduction to statistics. Using engaging examples from politics and international relations help to illustrate difficult, abstract concepts, making learning statistics fun and approachable. A must-read for all politics undergraduate students!
Anja Neundorf, Professor of Politics and Research Methods, University of Glasgow.
This book boldly outlines existing issues with the teaching statistical analysis to scholars of Politics and International Relations who often lack formal Maths and statistics training and, therefore, are rarely at ease with methodologically heavy ways of teaching statistics and quantitative data analysis. Instead, this book offers an application-based approach to teaching quantitative data analysis that is meant to inspire, as well as educate scholars with little to no background in statistical analysis.
By using relevant Politics and IR examples from a range of reliable data sources and exploring them using simple and robust data analysis techniques, this book makes statistical analysis accessible to a wide range of scholars and encourages their independent learning by offering a range of activities and additional resources for every chapter.
Dr Ekaterina Kolpinskaya is Lecturer in Politics at the University of Exeter.
